Including the latest suits, the Recording Industry Association of America has now sued 3,429 individuals since last September as it seeks to discourage music fans from copying and trading songs through peer-to-peer networks like Kazaa and LimeWire
As I have stated before, I don't download music illegally so I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for those who get caught in copyright infringement. My problem is that the music industries have targeted a false problem. The problem is the industry pricing of cds and people stealing the music is a symptom of that problem. I realize that the pricing system is very complex and gets into other areas such as the industry overpricing, giving too little of the profit to artists, and marketing blunders. The industry needs to attack the real problem if they ever hope to find a solution to the rampant copyright infringement.
