I'm not saying it's bad that stuff you mentioned gets downloaded. If they can't make anything original and good sounding and can't hit a single note correct live, they're obviously in the wrong business. However I don't download that stuff (I don't buy it either), if something's worth listening too I often listen it a lot and if I look at the price I've paid per hour listeningin say a month it's like already getting really small.
The good thing of the a big organisation like the RIAA moving in is that they can probably accomplish more than a few local bands who do have trouble with downloading. I know enough bands (even more known bands over here) that have to work besides being a musician to survive. And then I think every CD is one and helps them.
