Why do you call it extortion? They have every right to demand compliance with the Law. I wish they would start offering cash rewards to those who turn in the offenders. That will thin out the herd real fast! Music is as cheap now than it ever was. It used to be you had to buy a whole album/Vinyl or CD just to get one song that was popular. You even had to get in your vehicle and go find a store that had it. Now from the comfort of your home or wherever you are, with the aid of a Computer or Smartphone in less than a minute you can purchase only the song you want.After reading about the RIAA extortion ring, I think I just might start looking more into open-source music. This is getting ridiculous.
