The mother settled up for $2000. Must have cost the RIAA twice that for this lawsuit alone.

My Mom got me a free copy of Windows XP Pro, she's a professor and convinced the librarian it's for "academic purposes". Hee-hee.

Lawyers are most likely on salary. Whether they sue someone or just sit in the office they get paid the same amount by the RIAA.

Yeah...you can bet your old copy of Copa Cabana that they have a gaggle of lawyers on staff. Probably a huge legal department...

Seriously, with such monopolistic positions as selling for so low making anyone ok with buying CDs there, I am surprised they don't try to raise prices and actually MAKE some profit there. It prolly cost them more to get the software off the net by paying for net access per hour than selling enough of them with some good profit margins.

another strategy of copying of software here is by hiring. Borrowing the original copy then copying it and suddenly thousands of copies will be generated. That could be cheaper. (especially for games).
