I liked that the RIAA President said lawsuits were their least favorite choice, and how legal music had improved, and more people were using it.

I’m pleased to have my stuff available so easily so many ways, that I can see tracking numbers (important to get sponsors/patrons) and the all you can eat plans…. sadly I think these things happened because of the piracy, which will continue for popular groups — with proxy, tor, and other things hiding what people are downloading, and damaging people who are downloading legit and large ISOs, etc.

The RIAA actually addressed this one. They said that there were still some lawsuits being filed because they were “in the pipe” before the shift away was done. In short, they’re saying it takes many months to go from initial accusation to a lawsuit so they are cleaning out the last lawsuits.

How true that is, we’ll see in about four more months…

If it isn’t true, I’ll take my lumps then

Jonathan,

One thing you may be wrong about is the RIAA strategy change. According to Ray Beckerman (and a bunch of sources), new litigation continues to be filed and there are no agreements in place with any ISP's, as they've claimed.

However, they did *announce* it… and it might put you down to .500, so I suppose we shouldn't split hairs at this point.

Agreements with ISP's:
