Actually the RIAA cases are all civil, and the RIAA has no say in whether the government pursues a criminal case. In other words, you can't settle a civil case to prevent a criminal proceeding.

BTW, I'm not disagreeing with your overall POV... I just think we should try to be as factually accurate as possible when talking about this stuff.
