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?

Those guys are nuts. And the funniest part is, it's having no major affect on pirating of songs and stuff, because there's just too many people doing it

That's true, if they could somehow find every person who downloaded a song or movie or something, a crap load of people would be in jail. Like at my highschool, I've heard people talking about downloading songs.

Know someone who has an iPod with 500 songs? How many you think were bought off iTunes? Hmm? Especially the kids at my school, who can barely afford the iPod itself and probably only have a dozen CDs, how are they going to get there music?

P2P and Torrent sites awayyyyyy!!!
