RIAA Drops Suit Against Santangelo

VE3OGG writes "The RIAA, in an expected motion, has recently dismissed the case against Patti Santangelo, one of the most famous targets of the RIAA lawsuits. The mother of five was described by the judge presiding as an 'internet-illiterate parent, who does not know Kazaa from kazoo.' While this is good news, the RIAA is still pursuing its case against two of Mrs. Santangelo's children. To make matters worse, the RIAA has also dismissed the case 'without prejudice', meaning that they could, in theory, take action against her again later on. The RIAA alleges that Santangelo's children downloaded and subsequently distributed more than 1,000 songs. The damages they seek are presently unknown"

    Doctor Strangelove would have been orgasmicly enamored with the corporatist, politics, and religious dogma synergy of today.
    He would request the De_jure Excellency Bush for appointment as the ambassador to the sovereign fascist RIAA VaporLandia.

    VaporLandia VaporLandia Over All Others ....
    Don't Worrying about the RIAA and Love the Bombdigity!

    IOW: DRM, RIAA, IPR ... none of the shut makes any fycking sense to me. I do know "nepotism and corporatism" ain't "democracy and capitalism".
