While I have little time for the RIAA, I do wonder how people can be surprised that they are facing consequences for carrying out mass piracy in such a public way. People have shared music with their friends since the invention of the cassette and that activity is even accommodated within legislation and media taxation in many cases - but putting over a thousand tracks on the net for anyone in the world to help themselves seems like a pretty stupid thing to do.

I'm not sure I could say that the Napster generation is any less greedy or unprincipled than the RIAA.
