In the Tenenbaum case, for example, any juror who admitted to using any file sharing apps was ruled out from serving on the jury.I'm surprised they didn't rule out any juror that has ever clicked an html link/anchor.

I'm seeing a two-fold set of issues in that poorly titled op-ed piece that have little to do with the RIAA dinosaur itself.
1) Languishing business model - the entertainment biz has yet to figure out the online model and a change in royalty revenues.
2) Of course CD sales are down, who isn't straying away from physical mediums these days; when you're carrying around a hard-drive in your pocket and can stream media directly to your TV/device/computer/magic box.
Isn't this old news?
I could've sworn I remember hearing about these sort of techniques in the old Napster, Kazaa, pre-torrent p2p days.
