To Anybody Who Hates The RIAA

I was going to ask "why would anyone do this?", but then I remembered how difficult (near-impossible) it was to get to the website the first day...

If that were predominantly the case, you'd expect the pirating to rapidly drop off, but as said in the article itself:

Eric Garland, Big Champagne's top cork told Forbes that in a few weeks the numbers of pirated copies will be even greater than the legitimate sales.

Even it stopped tomorrow, of course, you still are left with nearly half as many people who would rather steal it than get it legitimately for (if they wanted) free. This is a sobering statistic for artists who haven't already benefitted from the RIAA like Radiohead, and will be the recipient of distinctly less gushing media coverage for trying the same tactic (to say nothing of the fact that many of them, unlike Radiohead, will actually need the money).
