My question is what did the RIAA accomplish by suing single mothers and kids who downloaded or shared music? Nothing.The RIAA didn't put a dent when it came to piracy. Law enforcement around world has shut down torrent sites and large pirate groups but still piracy is striving.

It's a war that can't be won by laws, yes it'll scary some from downloading content but the majority will continue to download content because a. it's free and b, it's too easy to obtain copyrighted content. Imo iTunes and other sites that provide content for a fairly responsible price have saved the music industry and I think we'll see record labels and movie studios provide music and movie content for cheap so people don't have to download illegal files but it's tough to price match free.
