Ray has investigated and outlined a whole series of recent cases filed by the RIAA here: http://recordingindustryvspeople.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html#1104859189661357526
This could well be RIAA spin, and based on their recent track record, unless I see tangible actions I don’t buy it and would tend to believe that this is more likely, at most just a switch from the threat of “death by painful hanging” to “death by painless lethal injection”.
