It might seem like an impossible fight for a person to go up against such a big money machine, but if only a fraction of the thousands of sued people would choose to fight the charges instead of caving in to extortion, there would likely be no more lawsuits, as the RIAA’s hands would be more than full for a long time, but by each defendant paying the ransom one by one, each victim only guarantees that there will be many more in the future.

With about $15 million raked in so far this has been a very lucrative shake-down racket.
