You'd think that the RIAA, with it's millions of dollars and evil lawyer minions would have already managed to stomp out internet piracy, but guess what?

Editor’s note: True enough, but then again, how do we know we’re not overestimating these companies’ power? I mean, isn’t the entire point of the internet that it’s decentralized and virtually uncontrollable? I mean, that’s why this RIAA vs. P2P is an issue at all. You’d think that the RIAA, with it’s millions of dollars and evil lawyer minions would have already managed to stomp out internet piracy, but guess what? Thay haven’t and if you ask me, they’re nowhere close either.

So, I dunno, maybe they have something up their sleeve, then again maybe not. I spose we’ll see.
