Hopefully this will start some sort of precedent. Since the RIAA got owned in court, hopefully future losses in court will start to seriously hurt them financially, and they'll stop being so sue-happy.One can hope, one can hope.
The RIAA needs to realize that going after the little people who don't even know anything about piracy, will only cost them legal fees and a negative reputation. Those people who are pirating their copyright material are only giving the industry free advertising. People see the free crappy version and go out and see the film in the theater or buy the DVD. What the industry needs to do to increase sales now is to lower movie ticket prices.

Probably they sent a bill that was higher than they really wanted, knowing it would get trimmed down.
