Actually, they're hoping that by making highly public targets of
those who transmit and host copyrighted songs that they'll also
discourage those who download from continuing to do so. The
transmitters are also easier to find than downloaders. Downloaders
will very much be their next target.
BTW, by copy I suggest we transfer this over to SLUG-POLITICS.
