RIAA HURTS ITSELF BY DRIVING FILE SHARERS TO MORE SECURE NETS
This is an old story that's only now moving into more popular media. It's an even older trend. RIAA kills Napster. Kazaa grows in its place, even larger. Surely the next P2P giant will be even bigger. Old dogs truly never learn new tricks.
