RIAA is greedy as hell, also known for their illegal way of shutting down websites like TPB (judge in the TPB trial had a copyright company himself, go figure), and how they break privacy of people to track down what they download. RIAA has been sued for these actions before: RIAA Sued for Fraud, Abuse and Legal Sham | TorrentFreak Not to mention this outrageous thing they did: Woman Who Owned No Computer, But Got Sued By The RIAA, 'Settles' | Techdirt Aren't they a bunch of greedy hypocrites?

You do realize that such a dismissive, high-horse response will serve only to ignite a flame war, right?
Unfortunately for you, she is not here. "Ride for ruin, and the world ended!" |

I feel sympathy for the guy, but it isn't like he is an innocent bystander. |

Don't tell me you've never torrented a mp3 in your life. RIAA can sue you 22,000$ just for that. I actually think they do it because they want moar money. Look at the ridiculous case of the woman with no computer.

I am just offering up the alternate perspective that if you are going to engage in illegal activities, and you know what the penalties are, one shouldn't be surprised when they get a knock on the door. Every time you download something you are taking a gamble.
