Do you agree with the RIAA's strong-arm approach for dealing with downloaders?

The RIAA has been very aggressive in going after audio downloaders that it says are violating copyright laws. Do you agree with its tactics?

Downloaders are living in fantasy world of self-indulgence. If copyrights are not upheld, music will dry up.

If they want to reduce ilegal downloads, they should reduce the price of music, make better quality recordings and design a system of downloads world-wide, efficient and affordable

I had to really give some thought between the last two choices. However, "Death to the RIAA" was just a bit too strong for me, but not by much. This current move is just like all the other defenses against copying music. Dumb, stupid, oh-sorry! Here I go again getting all worked up over the same poor old DEAD horse. I really will try to do better next time.
