In this case the scoffing comes from the state of Mississippi. The Mississippi Attorney General's office has issued a "Cyber Warning", warning users that some popular P2P applications like LimeWire or FrostWire might open door to dangers such as inadvertent sharing.

Metallica has long been recognized as the poster band against P2P filesharing. Not many will argue that it was in their decision to sue Napster some 8+ years ago is what brought it all to a crashing halt. (It would have happened anyways, due to the centralized architecture of the Napster network).
