Based upon the first post, why did RIAA sued only 2 people over millions who share/download daily content?

I guess thats somewhat more a warning than a money-leeching. Its like "You see, thats what happens if you DOWNLOAD!"

They are trying to intimidate, nothing more. Thats why its only 2 cases.

That's because not all can be caught, they used this to catch him MediaSentry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Most pirates, encrypt what they transmit, and use PeerGuardian. That way, not even your ISP can see what you are sending.

Read a more dtailed story that surfaced today US student ordered to pay $675K fine to the RIAA

I have to say I believe the charges filed against these people are totally unreasonable. It would be like a friend lending me a CD and me being charged ridiculous sums of money in turn ruining the rest of my life. Seriously, is that what we call justice? I do not understand how the jury or the judge can stand behind the charges in these cases.

Actually, in this case it would be more like your 'friend' lending you 60-70 CD's, and you burning copies and handing them out on the street.

I don't understand your logic. If they were leeches, why would they only go after two people?

It seems like focusing on two people and winning large judgments that get media attention, but will likely later be reduced is more of a warning than leeching to me.

You sure know a lot of the technical terms for downloading, MMM, considering you're such a critic of it.

Oh, snap! (finally, first time I use this phrase in a reasonable context)

I don't do downloading because I'm pop-culturally deprived, but I understand this differently via open source licenses.

Because I know what a torrent is? Would I be a good "critic" if I didn't know what a torrent was?

Next please.
