If this happens then just straight up boycott the music industry until they are bankrupted.

I don't buy because the CD's are too damn expensive and the music sucks, the latter being the strongest reason. I buy all kind of CD's, but they are independent labels. Not all labels are bad, Constellation being my favorite, but their music is good. The RIAA does need to remodel their buisiness structure for the internet, but that's not their main problem. Their problem is singles. They sell CD's with one or two good songs, but the rest is crap. Who is going to spend $15 on that?! Just my $0.02.

Hmm let's see....jail time for a file-swapper, but for decades CEO's have been stealing from millions and only get a slap on the wrist when they are caught.
