Theres always the possible angle of a few hundred pissed off consumers all 
filing individual lawsuits against the top RIAA management as individuals, 
going after each one of them as a person and not as a corporate entity.

Then there is also the angle of blacklisting providers who provide RIAA 
access to the net, blacklist them like spammers or any other net abusers.
