This question may take us off on an undesired tangent, but since we've entered into legal arguments, I'll ask it anyway. Why has the RIAA not been able to successfully shut down Kazaa (Sharman Networks, I believe) as they had shut down Napster? Was not Napster also a P2P app? I think I recall reading that the problem was Kazaa's international locations which were forbidding the RIAA to pursue legal action against them.

But, still, if file sharing is unconstitutional and a crime, forbidding the RIAA to pursue Kazaa is like saying if someone is hacking into the RIAA's sales records or something from the UK, the RIAA cannot pursue legal action against them.
