At least some people see this whole mess as one big mistake, and I'm surprised that it's Congress who sees it that way. I know that these types of p2p networks are wrong, but as stated in the other RIAA post, I don't see charging in excess of thousands, if not millions of dollars on people who have a few songs. Yes... I know that stealing is stealing, but what would people write on kid's police records? "John stole 50 mp3s... better keep an eye out on that hooligan" ... really, such things aren't necessary, and if such things as cease and desist letters were sent to all of these "lawbreakers" instead, no such action on court costs and worrying about not being able to go to college because of RIAA fines would occur.

I know many of you will agree and disagree on me about that, but the way the RIAA is doing all of this is wrong, and if Congress sees it like I do, then they'd know that you can only go so far to get back your $ that is "supposedly" being caused only by p2p programs...
