Are you serious?
I work for a company that develops, manufactures and markets innovative scientific instrumentation worldwide. In your view, any competitor or thief on the street that wants a piece of us could feel free to pirate our R&D data, set up a manufacturing facility and undercut our sales.
You might think the RIAA is evil incarnate, but they were set up to ensure record plants were meeting standards for frequency response. Their current primary goal is to protect the intellectual property rights of artists. Now you may not like how they go about doing this, and much of the time neither do I, but artists and record labels don't deserve to have their product pirated any more than a company like mine does. How to go about protecting against piracy and punishing piracy is a very complicated question. I certainly don't have the answer, and it's obvious that you don't either. It's about finding a solution.
