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.

When it comes to law enforcement,well let's dont forget that napster users at the end of the network's life were well over 30million. I think it's impossible to prosecute all these people.And terroristic activities like "i am going to prosecute 5 people for 1million $ dollars each in order to frighten the rest won't work either.
By the way do you know the cost to fabricate a original cd ?It is somewhat less that 20 cents.And cd's in USA are sold 7-10 dollars . In other countries they may even exceed 20 dollars.
And also do you know how much money did Justin Timberlake made out of his last album? 52 million dollars. Imagine the money his company made. Nobody ever said that singers should be millionaires or music companys multimegatrilionaires. I understand the fact that they want to be and in the same way i expect them to understand that i don't want them to be in my expense.
