Has the RIAA really spent upwards of 30 million on lawsuits? I'm assuming that about half of those sued just end up paying the 3K.

Something tells me the laywer was mistaken or lying when saying the lawsuits were a money-loser. I think they're making money from them, not just breaking even.

If they would back off the grannies and people who don't own computers, they'd make even more and lose a lot of the bad press too, but they seem incapable of recognizing bad PR.
