I think they're looking for an "exit strategy" to stop suing grandmas and getting bad press and wrongful prosecution suits filed aainst them.

If "contained" means "we'll stop pursuing it so much" then Amen.

I think they are declaring this a "win" much like the way the War on Drugs has been a huge success.

So they'll pump billions more dollars into fighting it even after they "won?"

Well, the RIAA found their new target. They're suing kids that film themselves on their webcams dancing to music without paying the proper fees.

I'm trying to think of a more pathetic, pithy-ass industry & it just ain't happening.
They should call this shit operation "Flaying the Scrotum."

Dude, this is what we need. Convince Iran to dump all its cash into server hosting for mp3s. Then, when the RIAA closes down the operation, the economy will be crippled. They'll do anything we want.
This is the type of creative solution we need. Why martyr more Muslims when we could just get the corporations to do all the work for us?

Two 13 year olds make a video lipsyncing their favorite song.
The RIAA response is to sue them for thousands of dollars in damages?
What the fuck does this do for anyone?
Will these kids EVER buy music again? Will they ever give a shit about music anymore? Where does the RIAA get off asking for thousands from people? If you were one of those kids wouldn't you try and fuck over the RIAA every chance you get?
I'd be burning CDs and handing them out on the street.
