RIAA admits the lawsuits aren't the complete answer to filesharing


The RIAA may be coming around in the slightest way from its strategy of suing fans, customers and grandmothers. Piracy has grown, not shrunk, since the RIAA legal assault on families began, with recent numbers indicating that 7.2 million households download music illegitimately.

According to TG Daily, an RIAA spokesman said, "What is the most important anti-piracy strategy is aggressive licensing and offering great legal alternatives. That is what our member companies obviously do and our job is to complement that, which is the most important thing to do to win over fans."

At least someone in power is starting to see that suing all your customers and fans isn't a great way to do business.
