I've been thinking for a while that RIAA is the
single most destructive force against our freedoms in the past few years, perhaps even more so than the Government itself with the Patriot Act and whatnot, because RIAA is trying to push all these restrictions at a global scale, trying to convince as many Governments as possible in the same time to accept them (think e-G8), to make people think that if so many accept them, then they "must be right about that".
If it were possible for them to fund a scientific experiment like LHC, that would create a blackhole in the middle of the Earth, that would finally stop piracy, I think they would do it.
What I'm trying to say is that they could care less if they bring down the whole Internet and kill it, as long as they just "stop piracy" - even if actually achieving that would lower their sales. But they are too short-sighted to even think about that.
With things like RIAA, it's no wonder people are protesting against Wall-Street rather than the Government itself. Because sometimes the companies behind the Government, can do a lot more evil by controlling the Government, than the Government itself would if they just wanted more power.
