RIAA sues LimeWire

I was wondering how long it would take for the RIAA attack dogs to turn their attentions towards LimeWire.

I don't know how to feel about this. I don't know whether I believe you should be liable if you knowingly enable a criminal act without actually committing said act. In this case, yes, the RIAA are greedy douchebags, and it's tempting to cheer LimeWire on, but what if LimeWire were basing their business model on the exchange of kiddie porn rather than mp3s? Much more disturbing moral implications, but it's the same basic legal question.
