I couldn't agree more. Ask Wal-Mart and McDonald's about the dangers of efficiency. They're constantly trying to make things less efficient to help the bottom line.

I disagree that they've lost. I think they may be losing. I think a sure fire way to make them lose is for some of you kids with more time and balls than I do to start compiling a database. Through whatever legal means possible, collect names of senators' and judges' daughters who are KNOWN file sharers. Then very publicly ask the RIAA why they aren't going after THESE 12 year olds. If they eventually do or not, the issue comes home quickly to those who shape the policy. That is assuming, of course, that you can get the media attention.
