MPAA does the heavy lifting RIAA refused to do
I have complained
for years that the RIAA took the lazy, showboat route in dealing with piracy. Instead of focusing on the vast network of CD counterfeiters, they engaged in ineffective litigation against P2P loving college
students.
Bad strategy.
As the RIAA lazily hired lawyers, the worldwide counterfeit business boomed. A 2004 industry report noted that 35% of All CDs sold worldwide were illegal copies.
