Topic: The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has gone after tens of thousands of people who it alleges have illegally downloaded music in violation of copyright laws. Some of those people are fighting back, and winning. Now the RIAA is sometimes finding itself a defendant in court cases. We take a look at what is going on, and why things are not going so
