Here's the ironic thing about the suing of music users. The RIAA are paid BY 
the major labels as watchdogs on their behalf for all manner of music related 
business stuff. The RIAA, in turn, took it upon themselves years ago to start 
suing illegal file sharers. The major labels never sanctioned these actions but 
fully supported any verdict where the file sharers were found guilty.....UNTIL 
RIAA sent the labels invoices for all the legal fees and sundry expenses 
related to the court cases on TOP of the annual fee of $3 million each label 
pays to be a member. Two labels in the last year have pulled their accounts 
with RIAA because the fees to be a member are 10 times higher than the revenue 
the RIAA is recovering from illegal downloading court cases.

When your budget to chase file sharers is higher than your recoupables, it's 
time to stop chasing the file sharers.
