Interview with Student Sued by RIAA

Posted by michael on from the look-at-this-in-depth-analysis dept.

TinoMNYY24 writes "Jesse Jordan, owner of chewplastic.com, was on CNN this morning discussing the RIAA settlement. You can read a poorly spelled transcript of the interview. Jesse is one of the two students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute that were sued by the RIAA."

    Daniel Peng, one of the defendants at Princeton, may think that the lawsuit was "settled amicably", but I do not think that this is an "amicable" settlement. In fact, I am outraged. They will pay for what they've done.

    Hey RIAA, if you see a nerd dressed in all black wearing a trenchcoat, ala "the Matrix", coming into your building...DUCK!

    Direct from CNN's bad transcript:

    ANCHOR: Hey, Jesse, why do you think the government came after you?

    JESSE JORDAN, SETTLED LAWSUIT WITH RECORDING INDUSTRY: Well, actually it was the recording industry association.

    Kind of hard to tell these days, isn't it?

  3. Wow! The best part... by ratboy666 · · Score: 5, Funny

    The scariest and best part is when the INTERVIEWER actually confused the RIAA with the Government. That sure gives the RIAA some big clankin' balls.

    Next... RIAA orders bombing of Canada, because its acutally legal to download music here!

    They edited the transcript, it was really like this.

    REPORTER: Hey, Jesse, why do you think the government came after you?
    JESSE: Well, actually it was the recording industry association.
    REPORTER: Yeah, that's what I said. The government.

    :P
