All,

  Well as predicted and obviously self evident to most, the RIAA
has begin to implode.  Now lets see if DOJ and DOC get the
message/lesson.  Seems congress hasn't yet.
See:
It has been reported for a while that the RIAA was suffering some
cutbacks and dwindling support, but techdirt is reporting that the cuts
may be  http://techdirt.com/articles/20090227/1203203925.shtml
even deeper than most originally suspected. Who knew suing
potential customers would ruin your business? "I'm sure some will
somehow 'blame piracy' for this turn of events, but it's hard to see 
how that's even remotely the issue. The real issue is that the RIAA 
has basically managed to run one of the dumbest, most self-defeating 
strategies over the last decade. Rather than helping major record 
labels adjust to the changing market, it continually, repeatedly and 
publicly destroyed its own reputation and the reputation of the 
labels ? each time shrinking their potential market by blaming the 
very people they should have been working to turn into customers."
