What Does "Copyfight" Mean?

Au contraire, the aggregate deficit to the public purse caused by RIAA's failure to pursue anywhere near the full damages due represents unconstitutionally fraudulent leniency, and a clear demonstration of justice failing to be seen to be done.
It's bad enough that RIAA are only prosecuting a small fraction of the criminals they are able to. If they didn't accept such insignificant out-of-court settlements I daresay they could afford to pursue the bulk of the remainder of copyright infringers (who currently escape $250,000 fines and 5 year prison sentences).
