Have any ANANDers been slapped with RIAA subpoenas yet?

So instead of the music companies coming up with a big ass site with all their music available for download for a reasonable fee, they waste that money going after regular joe's. I mean, if they charged a yearly or monthly fee that was decent, people might actually download quality music from them.

And that's worse than the exctra production cost of producing and delivering CD's for those artists that truly suck and never sell more than two copies?
3 or 4 meg of server space per song versus an average production load of 2 million units + distribution + advertising? If I were the industry I'd be making love to the online music world rather than jerking off in it's eye.

If they supoena me, I'll supoena them and sue them for invasion of privacy for going through my files without my permission.

Only if they have a previous arrangement with the ISP sys admins to keep logs of connection activity that will hold up in court, or have some form of certified recording method. While it may be easier for the RIAA to get subpoenas for connection logs they do have to have some proof, rather than just someone's word. Right now the IPs they're using are either operated by the RIAA or have agreements with them for the purposes of aquiring activity logs, and as these facts are publicly available it's easy to figure out which IPs to block.
