You have to love the tenacity of the RIAA. I mean trying to milk out more money by suing people who don't even own a computer. GENIUS! You can find the story here: http://www.vnunet.com/2154691.

It was this and other recent stories that made me think of the slogan about piracy.

I mean, as a creative individual who would one day like his work to be noticed and have some measure of safeguard against theft, I don't condone the stealing music--not to say that I've never done it--but it's not piracy. Hell, it's barely pickpocketing. It's more like skimming a few off the top. And to file a lawsuit for millions of dollars in damages against lone individuals is just ludicrous and truculent. Stop it you big bullies.

That's all I got.

Granted this posts almost seven years old now but with the recent death of Oink, I thought it time for another comment. There's a great article on the history of the record industry and it's gross excess at this website: http://www.demonbaby.com/blog/2007/10/when-pigs-fly-death-of-oink-birth-of.html

Years might be a bit much, let's try months instead.
