You think because you can still find illegal copies of stuff online that the efforts of the RIAA and other anti-piracy groups and legislation have failed? Wrong my confused friend... Had these efforts not been undertaken piracy would have killed the recording industry DEAD.

QFT. Just because individual lawsuits may not have been won does not mean the campaign was a loss. Further Steve is talking about settling for far less then the music industry wanted. If people fear being sued they will look to legitimate avenues to buy like what happened with itunes exploding.
Steve may not have the best idea here but he has an idea and we wont know how good it is till it gets a bit further along. I applaud him for trying something and risking the backlash. To many sit around and complain this is one of the first things I have heard that actually may work.
