riaa suing morpheus for ripping and not distributing

unless i'm misreading things, the riaa's latest suit against the makers of morpheus is basically for ripping music that they never distributed. can i expect them to sue me for the 300+ albums i have ripped? (note: i own copies of all of the albums.)

copyright needs to go back to being about publishing (distributing), not copying.

The last line of the article cracked me up. I'd hardly call the mp3.com lawsuit similar in that it sounds like, unlike mp3.com, they didn't do any actual streaming of the music.
