RIAA messaging gambit faces countermeasures
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2003-04-30

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.

You know we wouldn't have this problem if it didn't cost $25 for a CD with 11 songs on it. I pay $40 a month for a cable modem. That is were the "music industry" needs to focus. There isn't a new ablum out there that is worth $25. If they brought their prices down they wouldn't have such a problem.
