RIAA takes a shot at hacking

[jaguar]

Exactly, hacking is only legal if u can bribe congress =)

Well i'd relate it to the hacked satelite disk cards war. They can't fin though legal means so they sue technological means, a fair fight. The internet is still a wild place and closing down all file sharing systems is impossible though legal warfare(although i notice my curant fav audiogalaxy have started blocking copyright material, ah well, next service here i come) so they try tech means.

Except that if the RIAA has their way, if they win the duel they are OK, and if the other guy wins, they get arrested.

Haven't seen an arrest come out of sharing networks yes. Even hardcore warez trading is pretty much immune.
