This is distracting us from the real point, that the RIAA is trying to acquire an ability to use IP addresses to resolve internet downloads into automatic lawsuits that fly through court.
Lawsuits are a huge source of revenue. Step 1. Get lots of people to download stuff for free they would never in a million years pay $16 dollars for.. Step 2: sue them as if the free download was a lost sale.
This profit model isn't going away until it is forcefully taken down.
- Natsu 15y agoWhile I don't think that we can prove that any particular person was the infringer based on this, I find it interesting to compare this data to the public rhetoric that everyone else isn't "doing enough" to stop piracy. Maybe they should, you know, clean up their own networks first.
