Are they being distributed to the Artists, support people, record labels, and lawyers.....or just the lawyers??????? Nothing has ever been said regarding this and I am very curious to know as I'm sure others are. JD The question/comment I have regarding the RIAA is this:

I mean, the only way anything will be changed is if somebody takes the cartel on head to head in a court of law. While any given individual might not have the cash to fund a defense, if each person were willing to send in a donation it could theoretically work. I for one would toss in $100 to see the record company be forced into a showdown. I realize that it would require a highly organized effort but there comes a time when enough is a enough, and I feel like that time is near!

You wrote: "The crime? Downloading digital music files based on CD and other tracks owned by the cartel." I think what you meant was "The crime? Sharing digital music files where the copyright is owned by the cartel." I think this distinction is important. It's not about where you got the files from. It's about what you do with them. So until they see sense, let's be careful out there about who we share with, OK? Good summary, but I take exception to one point. You wrote:
