RIAA & MPAA Using the Feds as Muscle

The RIAA and MPAA have never tried the carrot-and-stick approach to anti-piracy efforts — just the stick part. It’s all about the stick.
The reason is a perception that an entire generation of kids and young adults does not respect copyrights, and that the combination of digital content and the widespread distribution medium of the Internet provide for the perfect storm. Also, as a friend of mine in the legal department of a Hollywood studio says, they are damn scared.
