What to do about the RIAA

Hi,

Boycotting them is too much and not enough.  It's too much because it 
implies abstinance and it's not enough because they deserve so much 
more.  There's a much better way to stiffle them; swapping CDs in 
meat-space.  Since there is no copying taking place and no re-sale then 
it's entirely legal.  It removes the abstinance part, it's fun, hits 
them where it hurts the most and there's the obvious analogy with what 
happens online.

Finished with a CD?  Take it down to the swap meet.  An ideal place to 
meet is probably in front of the court house. Even if RIAA aren't 
prosecuting file swappers there, it's kind of symbolic and who knows, 
maybe the judge has some CDs he's finished with?
