RIAA Violation?

I've said it before and will say it again: all those folks downloading/exhanging unauthorized copies af an artist's work are stealing. Their parent's should have taught them better.

The RIAA, though, represents an obsolete industry and much of their current battle is last gasp stuff.

Which is probably why the RIAA appears to have violated the same ethical/legal standard they are trying to enforce:

Makers of the most popular online file-sharing network are suing entertainment companies for copyright infringement, alleging the companies used unauthorized versions of its software to snoop on users in their efforts to battle piracy.
Hoist with their own petard?!
