One of the interesting consequences of commercial viruses like this, imho, is how easily they could be re-purposed for even more malevolent uses than the RIAA intends. It's a PR nightmare that is almost guaranteed to happen: clever script-kid reverses the code and extends it to not be specific to copyright material, etc.
