I’m hoping they’ll start to realize that the kind of press they get is the *wrong* kind of press.

Okay, so I guess I’m fooling myself 😉 But I know there has been some backlash against the heavy-handedness of the RIAA/MPAA/ESA legal shenanigans. Maybe the tide will turn.

I should point out that I am all for legal action being taken against those who mass-produce stolen content. The folks who buy duplicating machines and run off 40,000 copies of the latest Harry Potter movie and sell ’em on corners for $5 a pop- throw the book at them. But a guy who hacks consoles in his spare time, or a single Mom who downloads Britney’s latest album via Kazaa… these aren’t people who should be screwed over by teams of lawyers and million dollar fines.
