NetIQ

I find it interesting [and highly suspect] that the RIAA is suing a college kid for billions of dollars — money he will never be able to repay — when there are bigger, meatier targets available.

For years, NetIQ has had a product called MP3Check. MP3Check does just what Dan Pheng’s “wake” application did: it indexes a LAN and lists all the available MP3s.

So why isn’t the RIAA suing NetIQ for billions?

Oh, right. NetIQ is a Microsoft Partner.
