Obligatory RIAA bashing

The Recording Industry Assn. of America announced this morning the latest wrinkle in its anti-piracy litigation campaign: it's going to target slightly older young people.

The music industry has a right to go after the students.
However, it is the sites that host these file-sharing networks that really need to be fined in the first place.
Then go from there.
After all, it is illegal to make copies of things that have a copyright without the legal right to do so.
Gone are the days when I used to tape my music from radio to tape recorder.
Now that was safe.
