When you retard fair use with pointless DRM and then sue anonymous children for illegally downloading music while ignoring those of the execs at the top of the music industry, well, you're asking for a public relations nightmare. Now, with more than 35,000 lawsuits to its credit, the RIAA says it will finally end the legal assault against consumers that began back in 2003. The Recording Industry Association of America will instead, focus its anti-piracy efforts with ISPs.
You could say that the RIAA finally realized that this was just awful PR, but I seriously doubt that - it would require a level of intelligence that's completely lacking in that organization. No, I would guess that this is a result of the legal resistance they've been facing.
