The way the RIAA were running about enforcing copywright i had automaticaly assumed they were a USA legal watchdog. I was very supprised to find in this article that they arnt, as this means they have been breaking all kinds of laws! for starters breaking into computer systems, even if its to try to enforce the law, is still illegal if done by anyone other than cops. creating programs to freeze your computer or delete files is technicaly virus creation, which is also illegal. im sure there are countless privacy laws broken, and computer crimes commited by the RIAA, so it ought to be time to stamp on them. any company with this kind of vigilanteism and flagrant disregard for the law needs to be stopped.
