It's actually more akin to me looking through the window of your home, seeing that have an original Renoir on the wall and I photograph it, only to have you come after me for the theft of the original. One could I think flatten that suit pretty readily. If you didn't want me to photograph it you should have taken steps to prevent that. See I don't think anyone has a problem with the RIAA encrypting content for their own benefit. But they don't do that and instead rely on lawsuits as a business strategy. They're saying in essence, "there is a potential that what you the customer does could in theory harm us, so we will sue you for the utterly imaginary, projected value of that loss which hasn't happened and might never happen."
