Just to continue the discussion of the RIAA

American Constitutional rights....
Haven't these people heard of Multi-User

I think these people think gross infringements will be
prevented by the Constitution. They keep forgetting
that the USA Patriot attempts to -=supersede=- your basic
constitutional protections, in such matters.
As such, basic constitutional rights have -=no=- protection
from -=Patriot=-..... or, subsequent Electronic legislation.
(AFAICT)
