Here's the one issue I see in this argument, though it is a very good point (especially the horse thing... hadn't thought about it that way). Selling pirated media, I'm all for a group to take that down. But freely distributing it, I believe that's a good way to get the name of a band out. If a friend gives me a song of a band, and I like it, I'll go out and buy the CD. I most likely won't delete that song, as it saves me a tiny bit of time when uploading the CD to my computer. Does that still make that song illegal? According to the RIAA, yes, it does. That's why I disagree with their flawed methods of "protection".
