Mothers Taking the Fight to the RIAA
An anonymous reader writes "p2pnet is reporting that two more single mothers are refusing to be victimized by the RIAA. Patricia Santagelo was one of the first to stand up and fight the lawsuits, which some say resemble protection racket schemes. Now Dawnell Leadbetter of Seattle and Tanya Andersen of Oregon have decided to follow suit and stand up against the recording industry behemoth. From the article: 'Don't let your fear of these massive companies allow you to deny your belief in your own innocence. Paying these settlements is an admission of guilt. If you're not guilty of violating the law, don't pay.'"
Now that the women are taking care of business, crap will get done
To think is to engineer, to engineer is to become God
MARIAA. That does make a nice acronym.
What do I have to do to get a sig around here?! www.bearscanfly.org
"This is the RIAA Collective," they said menacingly. "Prepare to be assimilated. We will add your Financial and topographical distinctiveness to our own. You will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile."
That and we don't got dates for Saturday.
Sorry about the writing. Robot fingers, you know? Cliff Steele in DOOM PATROL #23

500GB of disk, 5TB of transfer, $5.95/mo
That's it. From now on, instead of downloading music I'm going to break in and steal the masters. At least then I don't have to deal with crappy compression.
"Because Science" is one step from "Because old book". Try "Because of my experiment testing my falsifiable assertion".
Everyone knows they have a new business model now. It's called: Sue children, single mothers, grandparents and yes, even dead people in some cases. So, at least in theory, their business model has evolved somewhat.

Slashdot user 11846: Your unauthorized use of Kris Kristofferson's IP and it's dissemination to millions of people on the internet is unconscionably un-American. However, we are willing to compromise and defer a civil suit if you admit guilt and bring a penalty of 3,500 dollars in small, non-sequential bills to the northwest corner of 1330 Connecticut Avenue, Washington, DC.
Come alone.
Sincerely,
The RIAA

Yeah, Harry Potter isn't written by Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett or Monty Python.
Justice is the sheep getting arrested while an impartial judge declares the vote void.
