Create new markets or sue your clients?

Does this look familiar? Publishers Sue Georgia State over Digital Distribution

It rings of RIAA's response to music downloading and sharing.

When traditional business models are threatened by digital alternatives (granted some of which are illegal under current copyright law), they can either get creative and help create a new market.... or sue their clients. The latter is, I think, a poor choice and will hasten transformative change in which the plaintiffs will not be welcome participants.
