They probably do like every other company does. They hire a dozen geeky
teenagers and have them comb the web for file sharing file distribution
networks, and then try out the software.
    Actually, if you think about it, they only go after the companys that
are really big as far as network user numbers are concerned. This would seem
to indicate they believe freedom in music files across the internet would be
the goal, and they are the goal tender. If this was the case, then I'm
willing to bet they only start a suit against a company after the words out,
and everyones hopping on the bandwagon. This would not only save them many
law dollars, but would be the best approach for making an example out of
their target. Napster, kazaa, all of the gnutella file sharing network...
Whats next? I'm willing to bet sometime in the future if this goes
unchecked, we'll be looking at some form of file checkin service before the
data can be passed across the internet. How "1984" is that? :)
