arstechnica.com — In the case of Sony BMG et al. v. Kim Arellanes, the RIAA is strenuously arguing against the defendant's request that a neutral, third-party perform a forensic search of the defendant's hard drive to find evidence that she engaged in activities frowned upon by the music industry.

i don't think any class action suit has been made, but every time someone makes a countersuit themselves, especially for things like extortion, the riaa backs down

Just claim that you have no idea who could have been doing such horrible things as downloading illegal music files since you have an unprotected wireless access point. Failing that, counter sue them for extortion.

The problem with this is that most people don't have the $ to mount the legal defense to prove they don't have it or did nothing wrong. In most cases they don't even have the $ for the extortion fee. That's probably where most of the negative press comes in because so far its been more of a guilty until proven innocent run (Although that IS oversimplifying it.).

A good emp will wipe your HDD, but could well leave any optical media you have in perfect condition (depending on your method). Also an EMP that is big enough to wipe the magnetic data from your HDD, is also going to permanantly destroy every electronic device in your house, and a magnetic pulse big enough to cause currents big enough to destroy equipment can't be too good for a person, after all, people are not exactly perfect insulators, and it doesn't take much current to stop someones heart...Unless you mean we should use an EMP on the RIAA, after all, they are evil robots from another planet. Maybe we could recycle any useful parts afterwards, make some robots that are not hell bent on destroying the rights of the "little guy".
