The RIAA and MPAA are using standard copyright law for their copyright infringement lawsuits. They are, in fact, except for the occasional truly stupid egregious error, suing those who are actually breaking the law. When you buy a CD, it is illegal to share that music in certain ways. Uploading a copy of a music CD to a file sharing service is illegal.

There are many reasons to hate the RIAA and MPAA. But please stick to the facts. When you exaggerate like you did above, you only hurt your own cause.
