The purported goal of the RIAA is laudable.
Their methods are immoral and border on the criminal. My next door neighbor had an unsecured wireless connection; so anyone with a laptop could have used her connection to download. The RIAA would have gone after her in a heartbeat.
One major problem I have with the RIAA is that they have a habit of dropping any case where they have a chance of losing.
As cstross said they are treating it as a money-making opportunity much more than piracy prevention.
