Re: sounds like said by Transmaster:The big difference between the RIAA and organized crime is companies represented by the RIAA give massive amounts of money to Politicians. In otherwords the RIAA is a crooked organization with money. How is that any different to organized crime? |

In otherwords the RIAA is a crooked organization with money. How is that any different to organized crime? A Judge nailing them with a RICO charge and the Politicians don't matter. Even a civil RICO charge.
Anti-abortion groups lost a RICO case in the SCOTUS and can be sued under RICO now by abortion clinis for "protesting" near their property. The RIAA is a prime target for a RICO lawsuit. Lawyers have no problem suing other lawyers.
The U.S. AG could easily used RICO against Madoff's Ponzi Scheme and didn't.
But, since the SEC screwed up, investors are suing the SEC over lost money. The SEC investigated Madoff 10 times and found nothing. Considering one investor talked to Madoff, saw NO documents, and thought is was crooked in 2002 and invested nothing, that makes the SEC look incompetent to me. |

Good point Joe Kennedy made his money during the "Great Experiment". He was then smart enough to use some of that money to purchase Kennedy families legitimacy.
