RIAA to halt lawsuits, cozy up to ISPs instead

The lawsuits have failed.

Yes they stopped some joes and janes from stealing music. But it also caused many of them to abandon new music instead.

CD sales have crashed. You can no longer sell a 16 dollar CD full of crap because people want one song.

The failure has been stunning. Last I checked the money received from the lawsuits was BARELY enough to keep the ops running. Much less actually giving it to the artists.
