RIAA joins forces with HP and Intel to oppose MPAA's bill?

wow.. is this the ever classic trojan horse move by the RIAA or is the RIAA sick of getting hacked.?.? haha.. aiy peace and ALWAYS REMEMBER: "knowledge is power, spread the power" or you'll have the RIAA and MPAA telling us what we cna listen to and what we can't..

I thought the RIAA were the same as the MPAA in terms of preventing piracy from all the sueing they have done, but I didn't expect anything like this to appear! Maybe there is some sense in the RIAA that the MPAA don't have. While they are joing forces with BSA ( Source: The Inquirer), another anti piracy company to appose the MPAA's bill, I'd understand why BSA would appose this anyway. The BSA relies on companies to illegally use software, so they can make money by sueing them of couse. If it does unlikely happen that the MPAA's bill goes ahead and all piracy stops, no companies will be able to make pirated copies and thus, how are the BSA going to make profit if they cannot sue companies for piracy? Oops. The same goes with AntiVirus companies. With other hardware manufacturers, the overhead in licensing government approaved DRM technologies will be very expensive and make their products unattractive to their customers. In the end, the MPAA's bill will benefit themselves and government's, but will be a just a much bigger hit on the already failing IT companies.
