		<description>Here&#039;s an answer from the anarchist in me...

Get a few thousand people who do not support the RIAA to sue the RIAA and appropriate record companies for copyright infringment for titles appearing on their published works and to which they (RIAA members) claim title.

Use the pending RIAA lawsuits as evidence that, should the RIAA lose the action, they would not pay and would continue litigation indefinitely resulting in the plaintiff&#039;s inability to achieve justice; and therefore demand the RIAA deposit with the court sufficient funds to ensure damages, if awarded, would be paid the plaintiff.  Say $100,000 per piece.

Use the same tactics the RIAA uses, only backwards.  Since the RIAA likes to file suit in major cities against people all over the country, file suits all over the country.  RIAA would be forced to find lawyers to respond and pay them.  

In North America one does NOT need a lawyer to file a lawsuit, so a well-aimed barrage would not be all that pricey.  Many of the suits would result in default judgements.  Some would be difficult to defend:  &quot;I was on a bus in [city] when [contract artist] was a nobody [insert year] and I was whistling the tune to [song].  It&#039;s a song I developed myself two years earlier.  The rights are mine.&quot;

One lawyer to write the boilerplate is all that&#039;s needed.  Then we could &#039;file-share&#039; it.</description>
