One has to admit: The RIAA sure is tenacious in pursuing its strategy. What it doesnt seem to realize, though, is that it has already lost the war. The recording industrys hardball tactics have fueled a technological shift thatll make it nearly impossible to pursue file swappers in the future.
How so? The culture of fear and loathing that the RIAA has created is starting to put encryption on the must-have list of every Joe and Jane Internet user. The results will be wide-ranging and will pose a threat to the movie industry, the software industry, and just about any other industry involved with the creation and sale of intellectual property.
