Is it wrong of me to root for the file sharers in these cases because most (definitely not all) of the artists signed by labels represented by the RIAA are anti-USA jackasses who trash this great country at every opportunity, even though they would be nothing in most other countries?

I like to bash the RIAA and the artists.

File sharing (stealing) is wrong. What RIAA is doing is much much much worse and should fall under RICO laws IMO.

The good news is CD sales are low and maybe the monopoly in the music industry will die.

You can pick your poison. You can root for the file sharers because the artists are anti-USA... Or you can root for the file sharers because the RIAA is basically engaging in fishing expeditions with little or no valid data trying to get people to settle out of court, then not actually getting any of the money to the artists they're supposed to be defending.

Both are valid reasons.
