This is like suing the car companies for providing the radio that someone used to record a copyrighted song off of.

I say hit em where it hurts. For the MPAA limit purchases of movie tickets as much as possible (I like the idea of seeing only matinees if necessary) or stay away from the box office completely and avoid new theatrical releases. Also avoid buying or renting video for seeing at home. Declines in home video purchasing/rentals and box office revenue will really dent the MPAA studios profit margins and with less cash they won't have enough money to hire more lawyers for so called piracy suits against file-sharers.

Try to avoid digital cable and satellite television service providers and their Video On Demand (VOD), HD and HD DVR products -- and most important of all say no to DRM crippled High Definition Blu Ray Discs (HD DVD had it too but has gone to the dustbin since losing the format war) download for free what and when you can if you absolutely have to see the new X-MEN movie in theaters download it for free.

Same goes with music -- you can support independent labels and artists but stay away from RIAA products. These cartels need to go.
