Lawyer Asks RIAA To Investigate Bush Twins
tanman writes "After reading an article in the Miami Herald that said "[President] Bush's twin daughters gave him a CD they had made for him to listen to while exercising," a Florida lawyer calculated statutory damages of $1.8 million and has sent a letter to the RIAA asking that they 'display the same vigor in prosecuting this matter and protecting the rights of your rights-holders that it has displayed in enforcing those rights against other alleged violators.' From the letter: 'This is a serious violation of copyright. As you know, whichever of your member organizations that are right[s]-holders for the copied musical works may be entitled to statutory damages of $150,000.00 per musical work copied.'" Update: 06/22 18:55 GMT by KD : The lawyer in question has retracted his analysis and now says no laws were broken, probably.
This has to be the most petty thing I've seen. How many millions of other people would be guilty of this as well?
I know there are people who hate Bush, but really, this is insane.
It's either on the beat or off the beat, it's that easy.
I moderate therefore I rule!

Why was this modded as funny? I thought it was true.
Not a liberal here. Just honestly curious why anyone believes in an ideology whose corporeal manifestations try very hard to deny you are worth the time of day, never mind any more substantial consideration.
You're not a liberal, you just bash conservatives as evil incarnate.
God invented whiskey so the Irish would not rule the world.
Oh, bullshit. This is another goddam circlejerk, and the dude even retracted it.
What you guys all just did is jerk off to tittie pics, and then look at the last one in the series and realize it's a tranny. Hope it felt good.
