This comment comes up a lot, and it is worth noting that entrapment is perfectly legal if it is not done by a person or persons in law enforcement. The RIAA can use entrapment methods as much as they want to.
I am curious whether my recent use of P2P is actually illegal... I have been downloading all the songs from CDs which I already own, but are all scratched up and won't play without skipping. I paid for a digital copy of the music itself, so I should be entitled to replace the music with CD quality music when the media becomes unusable. Right? I dunno.
For those who haven't seen it, the new release of
KaZaA Lite K++ (the bootlegged version of KaZaA with the spyware stripped out) has RIAA-blocking stuff built in. Not sure how effective it is, though.
