If illegally copying music files doesn’t annoy the RIAA enough, P2P leaks of pre-release albums are enough to send content owners into a blind rage. The industry seems to consider pre-release albums to be worth much more than they are after their release, and when law enforcement manages to catch a few of those responsible for the leaks, they go to town. Such is the case with four members of piracy group Rabid Neurosis (or RNS, for short) who were indicted this week for conspiracy to commit copyright infringement.

The group was allegedly led by 29-year-old Adil R. Cassim and spent the better part of a decade (1999 to “at least” 2007) illegally distributing copyrighted songs online. According to the indictment, RNS made a name for itself for being a “pre-release group” or a “first provider,” meaning that members were able to provide copies of songs and albums before commercial release in the US. “The supply of pre-release music was often provided by music industry insiders, such as employees of compact disc manufacturing plants, radio stations, and retailers, who typically receive advance copies of music prior to its commercial release,” read the court documents.
