Maybe the webmaster is doing this intentionally cuz he agrees with the hackers but wants to get paid. Leaving security holes open for them to hack. And then he goes and closes it, but not all of them.

Well, I read an article where these people were getting in through the same security hole over, and over, and over and over.....makes me wonder if the RIAA even has a web master/sysadmin :)

2. hardly monitors (but lives nearby)
3. hardly monitors and idiots fix it.

From that article on CNN.Com

Hack attack found
Meanwhile, the RIAA's Web site at (http://www.riaa.org) remained offline as FBI and Secret Service officials probed the source of the attack that has targeted the site since at least last Friday.

"How pathetic that those who want free music don't believe in free speech," said the RIAA's Amy Weiss.

RIAA officials said they believe the attack is unrelated to the "SQL Slammer" virus that knocked out online databases and disabled wide swaths of the Internet over the weekend.

Instead, one RIAA official compared it to the targeted "denial of service" data blitzes that have occasionally overwhelmed prominent government and industry Web pages.

Technicians would probably have the site up and running again soon, the official said.

An FBI spokesman confirmed that investigators were probing the hacker attack.

RIAA member companies include: Vivendi Universal, Sony Corp.'s Sony Music; Bertelsmann AG's BMG Music; and EMI Group and Warner Music, a division of CNN's parent company AOL Time Warner.

And it's just so wonderful that the RIAA wants everybody to have to use their services, so there will be no free music, and they are pushing legislation that would restrict free speech, because sometimes the right of free speech for the general population isn't in their best interest.
