I don't think we disagree here. By 'PR campaign' I meant RIAA's
campaign to scare people, not some campaign to be popular. I think
they know that their target demographic tends to be judgement proof
in the sense that they are young and too poor to actually pay any
awards that the RIAA might win. So the RIAA is effectively saying,
'It's not just about money. We will invade your privacy and trash
your reputation if you cross us'.
