Yeah, but how many thousands of lives will be destroyed in the 
meanwhile?  How many bad laws will be passed in the US and around the 
world which will have chilling effects for generations to come, and 
affect millions or billions of lives?

If the RIAA is wrong and they go out of business, it's no skin off 
the nose of the executives and lawyers who ran that business that 
raped and plundered all those poor people, so why could they possibly 
be bothered to care?


We've got to make them care.

We've got to get them materially and financially committed at a very 
personal and visceral level to their corporate goals, and when their 
company finally runs out of steam and in a few years is proven to 
have been wrong from Day One, we have to be able to line them and all 
their family up on the firing line and let everyone whom they have 
wronged over the years be able to take shots at them.

No one would be allowed to kill anyone else, but you sure as hell 
could have a lot of fun maiming a few people.
