That's pretty effed up! They shouldn't be using the "halls o justice" as a subterfuge like that...

Didn't hear of a tactic like that on an episode of Boston Legal?

nut-suckers. every last one of 'em.
And you know that there isn't a single one of them that would admit to working for the RIAA if they were in a crowded bar.

RIAA to stop suing people
Looks like they finally realize that law suits just aren't working...

Alas, it took the RIAA five years and 35,000 cases to realize that suing individual for illegal downloads was not an effective deterrent. Not only was it an abject PR failure, not even the RIAA has ever pretended that it was making a difference.
That's not to say the RIAA is not entirely out of the anti-pirate game, of course. Now, they will focus on notifying your ISP of your malfeasances, should their wide net of semi-legal piracy detection agents sniff out your IP seeding 808s and Heartbreak to 12 year old girls. The RIAA will email your ISP (if it is one of the "major" providers that has an agreement), who will then either forward the email on or send their own warning. If you don't comply to that and subsequent warnings, your service may be canned.

they're taking their fight to the ISPs to get out of the public eye. they're still up to no good. ...and it only took them 5 years to wise up.
