The biggest problem the RIAA has had in it’s fight against copyrighted filesharing and p2p (peer to peer filesharing) is that the fact that most people don’t think that it is neither immora nor wrong.  The RIAA has had several campaigns trying to convince people that the sharing of copyright files is both immoral and wrong, but it seems to have little effect.

First the RIAA targeted those companies that supplied the software to fileshare i.e. Napster.

Then the RIAA started sueing those that download copyrighted files.  This made a few people afraid, but it still didn’t stop anything.

Then the RIAA start sueing the websites that supplied the files. Still, no budge.

In fact, filesharing on the web grows every year and it seems nothing the RIAA does or can do will prevent it.  It is something they simply have to live with and try to adapt with to find ways to profit from it.

Here’s a little fact to think about: One in three Broadband subscribers openly admits to flouting the law and doing so. (Which came from  Ovum researchers who had surveyed a large group of broadband Internet subscribers who also own a TV, and polled their video download habits.)
