To the Recording Industry Association of America, sending threatening messages to online music swappers is a potentially effective way to educate the public that trading copyrighted material is wrong. But to security geeks in the file trading community, the technique is just another volley in the electronic war with peer-to-peer opponents... and a rather trivial one at that.

I remember when CD's were first coming out and were going to lower the production costs of the big music companies by over 1000%. They said these savings would be passed on to the consumer... yeah right. What they ended up doing is charging more for a CD which costs 1/10 to prouduce than the old vinyl format (I am sure its even less now). Until they wise up and stop gouging the the consumer, they can go shove it. I am going to pirate.
Also, another good idea for them would be to create some value-add into the CD product. Like having some nice artist memorabilia, pictures, bio, autographed poster, etc.
