"I pulled out my calculator to see just how long it would take the RIAA to sue all 60 million P2P music file traders at a rate of 75 a day. 60,000,000/75 = 800,000 days to subpoena each person or 800,000 days/365 days in a year = 2191.78 years to subpoena each person".

Oops, details WRONG
She forgot to count weekends / public holidays when the courts wouldn't be in session to issue the subpoenas so you can EASILY add at LEAST 2 sevenths to that figure JUST to count the weekends
Making it closer to 3000 years including holidays etc
(2818 years without holidays)

They plan ahead for 3 millenia. It's just that the plans don't actually work, c.f Baghdad ...
