The RIAA Gets What it Deserves
I'm so happy with the outcome of a recent case where the RIAA had sued a mother because her 13 year old daughter had been illegally sharing music online. The mother proved that she was not very good with computers and therefore had no knowledge of her daughter's wrongdoing. The RIAA of course claimed that ignorance is no excuse and it's the mother's fault anyway. Absurdity!
Now read this excerpt from the article where I found the story...
The case was dismissed with prejudice, which prevents the case from being advanced against the defendant. Finally, the RIAA tried asking the Judge to amend the judgement in order to allow them to sue the child through a Guardian Ad Litem. However the court denied this RIAA's request.
Can you believe these fucking people? They are so greedy, ignorant, and outright insane that after trying to sue a mother who had no idea about computers for file sharing, they then went after a 13 year old. I cannot believe there is not more outrage about this. This is on par with Wal-Mart suing a 13 year old who stole some items from one of their stores.
Have some humanity! Write or wrong, the kid's 13 years old!
This is by far my favorite story on this subject, second only to the story about the RIAA suing a dead elderly woman for the same reasons.
