...the RIAA decides to sue a chronically ill girl (suffering from pancreatitis and depression) whose single mother makes $8.25 an hour, who is also facing mounting medical bills. The 19-year-old girl was, shockingly, unable to make it to court, earning the RIAA a default settlement of $8000. Apparently, she shared a criminally large amount of songs (10) over the internet while hospitalized.
Truly, RIAA has made the first bold step into a new era of internet justice. To avoid the same fate as the aforementioned miscreant, check out http://www.riaa.com/ -- you can download your very own "Young People, Music & the Internet: A Guide For Parents & Teachers About Digital Music & Downloading"
Make sure you check the link first though! Just in case you download a pirated copy.
