I read (/.? that a FSF legal scholar is arguing that the RIAA can now only sue downloaders for $5/month, since that is the demonstrable limit to damages that they can prove ;-)
By no means a legal scholar, but by all means a shrewd businessman. The person in question is Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks. There was an article on him in Wired a couple months ago, and he comes across as a reasonable man who's completely sick of RIAA and MPAA blathering.
The thing is, he's echoing what many of us in the real world have been saying for a while, and he's "big" enough that some people might start listening.
