Someone needs to do a Search and Destroy mission --- that is Search for all RIAA magates and find a way to take them down -- not physically -- just financially.....

Oh - wait -- they are doing it to themselves. Hopefully more people start boycotting the major labels and start looking at all the cool stuff in Garage Bands, Creative Commons, etc.
