Oh, except that it'll fail after 4 days with an error: "You've exceeded your 50Gb storage limit." (And that's assuming you're paying the big bucks for such a large limit, rather than the 2 Gb default.)

Thus obscurity, since once I know what the method is, I can break it easily.
Well, duh, because he just told you, so it's no longer obscure. The whole idea is that others DON'T know what the method is. Even if you do figure it out though, you still have more levels to get through. Password, etc.

No, they probably can't just "back out of it", but if it really gets that bad for them, they can probably throw enough money at her to convince her to settle. Better that (for them) than to get kicked out of the courtrooms completely.
Here's hoping she and her lawyers stick it to the RIAA instead of accepting a life of luxury on their tab. But quite frankly
