RIAA Sues a Child
dniq writes "You may remember the previously posted story about a case against a mother, which was dropped by the RIAA right after her lawyers moved to dismiss the case.
Well, guess what? The RIAA has brought a lawsuit against the mother's daughter - now a 14 year old girl - and moved for appointment of a guardian at litem."
And, should that fail, against her goldfish for listening to the alleged pirated files . . .
...somebody think of the children!
I used to have a better sig but it broke.
I expect that RIAA will soon sue FUTURE offsprings. Worse, congress will pass laws that will allow it, and the supremes will back it.
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.
Thieving bastards the lot of em!
They are hoping she'll be the next Britney Spears, and they can increase their profit margins if the RIAA can get a new guardian.
Child was wearing a "hoody" must be guilty.
In other news, an unborn is sued for cognisance as his mother listened to an illegaly downloaded song.
Windows is like decaf - it tastes like the real thing, but it won't get you through the day.
RIAA steals christmas, kills the easter bunny, bombs a hospital, poisons a river and makes a general ass of itself.
Since Brittany will not be able to pay, the RIAA should be granted the right to harvest Brittany's organs.

Or, as they said in the movie... I love the smell of napalm early in the morning.
Nice work RIAA. With lawyers like these, who needs enemies? Or p.r. people, for that matter?

...the RIAA has filed a lawsuit against the father's testicles for "willful neglect" by spawning copyright infringers. In what could be the most lenient interpretation of the Grokster decision, a judge has allowed the RIAA to pursue further based on claims that the father's testicles were responsible for discoruging the illegal acts commited by their offspring. The announcement came as both a shock and an outrage to the defense team and the defendent who was heard to remark, "I'd give my left nut to get this ruling overturned."
Yea, it's a troll, big whoop, wanna fight about it?
Yeah, poor things. How do they sleep at night?
Oh yeah, I forgot.
On top of a pile of money, with many beautiful ladies.
...how else would I have known that the new Fiona Apple CD really isn't very good?
sig has been sent away for a few small repairs...
I take strong offense to your.....aw, screw it...ZZZZZZZzzzzz
There are no loopholes. It's either legal or it's not.
RIAA files suit against God for "willful neglect" in creating man. The suit goes on to describe a number of ways that man is flawed including but not limited to:
I used to have a better sig but it broke.
vying for modern-day bogeyman?
I can see it now.
"Go to bed right now, or the RIAA is going to get you!" *child screams and runs to bed*

This teaches us all a valuable lesson. Make sure your kids know how to connect to your neighbour's wifi network before downloading mp3s...
I only use P2P networks to download porn
...will they go after her little dog, too?
In a world without walls, there is no need for Windows.
Hey, RIAA leave the kids alone!
All in all it's just another suit on the wall
All in all you're just another suit on the wall
Can I get sued now, for infinging on some songtext copyright?
[sounds of rap, house, whatever it is that "kids listen to these days"]
D: Are these the sound recordings you are accusing my client of having illegally downloaded?
P: Yes, so stipulated.
D: Your honor, we agree these sound recordings were downloaded, however, no copyright can be held because that's not music and as the court knows, noise cannot be copywritten.
J: So noted. Case dismissed, with prejudice. Get that crap out of my courtroom.

All suspects are guilty. Otherwise, they would not be suspect.
