RIAA to Sue You Now

An anonymous reader writes "MSNBC reports that apparently the music industry feels so satisfied with going after file swapping software makers that they want to sue the pants off the file swappers themselves. Of course, you'll need to be a big fish with lots of illegal music to get their attention." This is what they should have done in the first place- go after the people who are actually doing it instead of making P2P seemingly illegal.

I submitted this story this morning:

2002-07-03 14:26:10 RIAA to sue individual file sharers (articles,news) (rejected) ...right after the MSNBC article appeared, and I had read it in its entirety.

Anonymous Coward submits it six hours later, and it's suddenly newsworthy?

I know I'm not supposed to bitch about these kinds of things, but seriously, how about some editorial consistency? This is the second time this has happened to me, and I can't tell if it just because I'm a smartass, the different editors see different submissions in the queue, or what... all I know is that I'm a karma whore and want bonus points for my submission!
