This is a pretty typical negotiation technique. Ask for the moon if all you want is a picture of the moon. Fight like hell for the moon, and when someone offers you a photo, look glum and get exactly what you wanted.
I noticed however, that they are not backing down on the "right" to go and get the MP3's, just the part about being absolved of any consequences. They still want into your computer files.
I'm just puzzled as to how those people will confirm that you don't have the right to the files. I have about 2000 Mp3's on my computer that I ripped off of my CD's. I have the right to them, they DON'T have the right to delete them..
But I'm an easy guy, I really don't have a problem with this.
HEY! RIAA!! I've Got 2000 MP3's that you can delete! Come and Get Em!! My IP address is 127.0.0.1!

When we go around talking to people about the threat of the DMCA to libraries, people refuse to beleive that the publishing industry can be so brazen to even ask for laws intentionally designed to end public libraries.
Here is an example of the Music Recording industry asking for an EXEMPTION from breaking and entering into your home computer and stealing your files.
It takes a few of these reqests from the RIAA to make it sink in how little they care about mainstream political rights.....
