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?

I'm in alot of trouble everyone. A friend of mine was telling me about a band he liked, and he told me some of the lyrics were very strange. I asked why, and he started to tell me about a song. Before you could say "Tricicles in skirts", shots were fired. I'm in an FBI hospital right now, because appearently being shot twice and shocked with an air tazer is a quite terrible thing. When I asked where my friend was, they tranquilized me and threw me in a pit of rabid bears until I had learned my lesson. I'm being held for Grand Theft Audio, the theft of hard working billionaires money, Grand Theft Electro, uncertified bear fighting and for no particular reason, assaulting a police officer and evading arrest.

There have now been numerous websites shut down for the distribution of lyrics. Why? Good question. Because the RIAA and most major record labels hate humanity. Its like the whole Outsiders effect with the Socs, the multi-billionaires can no longer get richer or get in trouble, so they're just starting trouble with random people for blurred causes.

People having websites shut down for posting lyrics, even though MOST BANDS HAVE FREE LYRICS PAGES ON THEIR WEBSITES, is simply insane, and all people responsible for this insanity should be fed to alligators with dull teeth.
