Good analysis, here. The RIAA is making quite a bet that whatever the lawsuit barrage accomplishes, the resulting public relations fallout can be contained. The comments to the linked piece are not very friendly to the industry. I’m no expert on this issue and don’t know what the answer is, but does the industry?
