You're just wasting time and energy.
And money - for both sides.

Sure, The MAFIAA can afford it - but the ISPs cannot afford to lose money on legal fees. Eventually they'll just resort to giving up and letting the MAFIAA have what they want.. "just don't sue us".

Real mob: "do what we tell you to or we'll break your legs"
MAFIAA: "do what we tell you to or we'll break your wallet"

Same difference, same end result. (eventually)

Governments need to step in and stop this by outlawing frivolous lawsuits like this.

Re: I got it.

what do you mean the MAFIAA will lose money? they'll just find someone to extort money from (whoops, i mean sue) to ensure they stay in the black.

Re: I got it.

Ok, so college students are the unwilling, primary investors in the RIAA's cause, but I think that the ISP's have a ton of money, and a lot of resources. If this was not the case, we'd already be knee deep in the same crap that the much smaller ISP's in Australia are involved in.

Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon are not as easy to push around. But that is the only thing saving us all from a disaster at the hands of the RIAA.
