I agree. To eliminate any and all "sharing" the RIAA would have to shut down everyone's FTP sites, eliminate Windows file sharing (Windows 98 Third Edition??). Too much cleanup if you ask me.
My theory is that Napster is like the boy in high school who bragged about stealing the girl's clothes in the locker room. Too many people found out...and everything went down from there. :)
Napster is popular because it's for a Windows platform (Windows is very mainstream, I wouldn't say it's the best but I digress...) and as a result it got a lot of attention. File Sharing (I guess) isn't seen as that big of a threat. Why, I don't know. It's all the same to me.
Maybe we'll never know the ulterior motives (if any) of the RIAA.
