The RIAA needs to realize this is a lost cause. Record companies fought MP3 sharing for a long time, and eventually gave in. Now they finally embrace it and sell songs on the likes of iTunes and Napster, but they were/are hurting for their subborness.

The record companies better realize that the old times are over. Here we have extra levies on blank cd's etc, and now MP3 players have more capacity then a blank cd.
They are wasting so much money on trying to keep up with technology.
Dvd's are also a good example. We like to watch European DVD's, and this is now easily achieved (opposed to video tapes which are really for NTSC, SECAM or PAL). DVD players are digital and the MPEG stream easily plays on any DVD player.
Then the added region protection so that movies which come out first in the US cannot be played in Europe yet. For organized crime selling DVD's worldwide it is just a minor inconvience, and the average consumer who buys a DVD in the store gets stuck not being able to play a DVD which was legally bought overseas.
I bought a cheap Philips DVD player which can be unlocked with the remote, but the whole principle is a total waste of money and time imo.
They better come to terms that the 1970s are over and that this is a digital age with an easy way of exchange of digital information.
First there where websites with illigal software which where shutdown, but then usenet and napster came along which where still server based. Now there are decentralized server systems like torrents and overnet to transfer data.
The problem is that when you shutdown one thing, you're dealing with millions of teenagers who come up with new creative ways to avoid the law. They also typically have tons of time on their hands to come up with those solution.
Bottom line is that you're not going to beat it I think.
