Yes, it's entertaining (?) to watch the antics of the RIAA/MPAA.

Not.

This is one of my favorite stories:

"RIAA Suggests MIT Student Drop Out Of School To Pay Fine"
http://techdirt.com/articles/20060405/0227225.shtml

But then again, now the artits themselves are making noise:

Today:
"Rockers Sue Sony Over Download Royalties"
http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-sonysuit28apr28,1,4661215.story

Yesterday:
"Canadian Artists Revolt Against CRIA Policies"
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20060426.gtmusicapr26/BNStory/Technology/

Big money, few scruples.

Clearly, the recording industry is dong an injustice to the
consuners, the artists themselves, while the justice system of
many countries is being boondoggled.
