RIAA Strikes Again

Radley Balko tells us about yet another RIAA masterstroke:

[The] RIAA is suing a young transplant patient in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Nineteen-year-old Ciara Sauro has pancreatitis and because she needs an islet cell transplant, she’s hospitalized every week, a situation resulting in a huge accumulation of medical bills.

Now, “Because she didn’t defend herself against a copyright lawsuit, a federal judge in Pittsburgh ruled she’s a music pirate, and that could cost the Sauros almost $8,000 in fines,” says Pittsburg news channel WTAE.com.

As far as I can see, there are only two ways this trend can end:

1. The RIAA gets permission to legally execute music pirates on sight.
2. The rest of us get permission to legally exeucte RIAA executives on sight.

Write your congresscritters now, to make sure that vote goes the right way.
