Don’t be fooled… the RIAA is still out to get you

Not exactly what Internet Pirates look like...

If you haven’t heard yet, the RIAA has officially halted pursuing new lawsuits against file-sharers.  That isn’t to say they’ve given up the battle against music pirates – it doesn’t sound like they dropping all the lawsuits already filed…

But they’ve pretty much thrown in the towel with suing everyone and their mother because a 14-year-old kid just found out how to use Limewire.

The end?  Shhhiiiiieettttttt…..

It seems the new strategy is to basically nag your internet service provider that you’ve been illegally sharing their media to the point where your ISP simply denies you internet.  Somehow I can see the aggressive behavior of the RIAA trickling into this new strategy, leaving dozens without the web.  Sure, it may be less costly (by a lot!), but just as much hassle trying to say “sorry, my 9 year-old really wanted the new Jonas Brothers song for free, give me back my internets”, and what if your ISP was pressured to just slap the music fees on your internet bill without warning?

Hmmmmmmmm….
