RIAA Sues Woman Who Has Never Used a Computer

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the luddite-encouragement dept.

boarder8925 writes "Marie Lindor, a home health aide who has never bought, used, or even turned on a computer in her life, was sued by the RIAA in Brooklyn federal court for using an 'online distribution system' to 'download, distribute, and/or make available for distribution' plaintiff's music files. She has requested a pre-motion conference in anticipation of making a summary judgment motion dismissing the complaint and awarding her attorneys fees under the Copyright Act."

    I'll believe anything the RIAA says before I believe a person could live a life without ever once using a computer.
