Sock it to those real criminals - the RIAA!

I doubt if this tactic will work, but I support it nonetheless.
Someone has to put a stop to these mafia criminals before more
old ladies and children get dragged into court on trumped up
"piracy" charges.

FTP is P2P and has been legal for years.

It's not the technology, its the use.

If i want to send a file to a friend, FTP is safe, secure (in its ssl incarnations,) and freely available everywhere.

You just never think of FTP for illegal music, because it was never advertised like that.

Very interesting defense via RICO laws, but then again, with this line of defense looks like RIAA, may be forced to explain whatever happened to the one hundred million plus raised in the file sharers law suit settlements!

Still, given RIAA's pull at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave DC, I wouldn't be surprised, they slither away! , and pay bribes for changes in the law, to outlaw this form of defense, by allowing only State and Federal Attorney Generals, to enforce the RICO laws!

The RIAA, has very deep legal pockets indeed, given their leech like activities on all forms of entertainment of today, and that which will be!, in the future!
