They are NOT "leading the charge" against file sharing. Every major label has embraced it and you can legally download just about any song you can think of. They are leading the charge against ILLEGAL file sharing. All the RIAA asks of people is that they pay for what they get. Why is this concept so difficult for people to grasp?
