EFF launches "stop the RIAA madness" campaign

From their web page:
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is on a rampage, launching legal attacks against average Americans from coast to coast
. After over 18,000 lawsuits and counting against P2P users, file sharing has continued to increase rapidly. Meanwhile, music fans, like 12 year-old Brittany LaHara, college student Cassi Hunt, and parent of five Cecilia Gonzalez, are being forced to pay thousands of dollars they do not have to settle RIAA-member lawsuits, and many other innocent individuals are being caught in the crossfire.This irrational crusade is not generating a single penny for the artists that the RIAA claims to protect. The RIAA should be working to create a rational, legal means by which its customers can take advantage of file sharing technology and pay a fair price for the music they love. With artists increasingly turning against the lawsuits, momentum may be shifting in favor of a better way forward.
Copyright law shouldn't make criminals out of more than 60 million Americans - tell Congress that it's time to stop the madness!
