The RIAA DID go after a downloader - someone who downloaded a mere 24 songs, they won a verdict and judgment; which was subsequently overturned - turns out the judge decided $222,000 for 24 songs was a LITTLE excessive.
The lawsuit was because she was uploading those songs, not downloading them. That she downloaded some of them was mentioned by the RIAA, but it wasn't the main argument of the case.

You are RIGHT! My bad - I was just reading it myself all the way through and realized my mistake ...

Clearly there could be some imporvements made to the laws in this area. I know consistent, logical, and straight forward would be a lot to ask from lawyers but hey guys aim high :-P

Many car stereos actually have some of the Gracenote DB , too. I didn't know that until someone told me.

The newer 08 model cars not only have that, but have update capabilities when you take them in for dealer service.
