RIAA messaging gambit faces countermeasures

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.

Just to add a note about encryption: a key would have to be built-in to the client software, therefore making it impossible to send an encrypted message without the software being pirated first, so therefore the RIAA would be breaking copyright laws by embedding a key into client software available to download.
