When all else fails, declare victory
Remember that lawsuit the RIAA launched against the Russian file-sharing site AllofMp3 awhile back? And remember how the site shut down, and then started up again under another name (Mp3Sparks) with the same look and all the same millions of music files? And remember how the Russian courts found the company not guilty of all charges (at least according to Russian copyright law)? Well, Torrentfreak says the RIAA has responded to all of that — by declaring victory.

This works often not only in business in all sorts of fields (look at Rove's tactics in the U.S.).
Looks like the RIAA is just a follower of that philosophy.

often believe that repeating it can make it true. I'm not sure it's
such a great strategy in this case, however, although I suppose it
allows the RIAA to save some face.
