RIAA new business model, in addition to music industry, add extorsion to the list:

Step 1: bring broad lawsuit against lots of individuals.
Step 2: offer to settle out of court, on the ground that indeed, the suee is better off paying a nominal fee (1 to 5 grands) than to get entangled with lawyers (expensive) time (expensive) travel to court no always local (expensive)
Step 3A: suee pays, promise to be a good dubee. All is well.
Step 3B: suee goes to court and goes "ok, I'll see your lawsuit, go ahead, let's argue". RIAA then drops the charges, argues with the court that they don't wanna do anymore.
Step 4: rince, repeat.

That is truely despicable.
