Easy win.

Markham was talking about the RIAA burning money which they can only have done by paying for everything rather than on a no-win no-fee basis.
With all the thanks thanks thanks ego boosting seeming to be a large part of the sharing side of things I would have thought concentrating on nuking prolific uploaders files would have been a better way to go in stopping the sharing rather than chasing IP address lists later. If every time someone posts a new upload it becomes undownloadable in hours then their reputation will sink. Demoralise the uploader and they will find something else to spend their time on.
