Riaa Madness Continues Options

Wow...I always felt the RIAA and their tactics of "sue them, and they'll buy more records" was silly, but this is just rediculous. From the article:

Marie Lindor, a home health aide who has never bought, used, or even turned on a computer in her life, but was nevertheless sued by the RIAA in Brooklyn federal court for using an "online distribution system" to "download, distribute, and/or make available for distribution" plaintiff's music files, has requested a pre-motion conference in anticipation of making a summary judgment motion dismissing the complaint and awarding her attorneys fees under the Copyright Act.


Yeah. Sueing someone for file swapping who doesn't even own a computer. That's rich. What's next? Sueing the residents of an old folks home for humming melodies without paying royalties?

Unfortunately... companies aren't the only ones to blame in our messed up system of lawsuits. Check this one out....

The flying shrimp

If this family gets awarded anything at all... I will be very very upset.

IMO... They should be charged with fraud and be forced to pay for all of the court costs, attorney costs for both sides, loss wages for those jury member present, everything! Then they need to issue a public apology to the restaurant!
