RIAA to actually sue YouTube users for amateur videos?

There is a report that the RIAA is actually considering taking action against YouTube and Google Video for the unauthorized use of copyrighted music in amateur music videos uploaded to the services.  Can you believe a lawsuit because kids are doing their own Shakira "My Hips Don't Lie" videos?  The RIAA must not have an ounce of common sense in any of the leadership if this is being considered.  The complete lack of threat that this poses, and the PR that is gained freely, cannot be in question.
