So Sharman threatens to sue the big guns? Great, go for it! The RIAA and the MPAA are using stealth tactics to catch people by posing as p2p sharers. This is the lowest of the low. It also raises the question: They hack onto p2p users IP addresses by deploying spyware, isn’t that an infringement of our privacy rights? After all they are spying on us without our written or otherwise consent, which is an infringement of our civil liberties. I hope Sharman takes them all the way and kicks them where it hurts most. The RIAA bleats about p2p users stealing from their pitiful companies but sees no wrong in secretly spying on members of the public. At the end of the day all they are concerned with is raking in more money from an already overcharged public. They say they are looking out for the welfare of their employees, that is bull. An employee is someone who works for an employer whether it is an artist/musician or a factory employee manking the discs. They all work for the labels yet when there is a downturn in music who gets shafted? The factory worker. The compaines will ALWAYS find cheaper ways to manufacture their product yet they will not pass these savings on to Joe public will they. So who benefits and who gets shafted? You decide
