Lawsuit Against RIAA Tries To Stop Them All
I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Tanya Anderson has filed an amended complaint against the RIAA. One of the more interesting provisions in it is in the 18th claim, which seeks to stop the RIAA from 'continuing to engage in criminal investigation of private American citizens', no doubt referring to the unlicensed MediaSentry investigations. If granted, that could shut down the RIAA lawsuits entirely. Naturally, the RIAA doesn't like this at all. First, they got the judge to agree that the original complaint was too light on the details, so it was amended. Now the RIAA complains that it's too long, because it's 108 pages filled with the RIAA's dirty laundry. You may remember this as the countersuit to the lawsuit where RIAA lawyers tried to grill a 10-year-old girl, only later to drop their case for lack of evidence and have the mother sue them for malicious prosecution."

Only the champagne socialists on Slashdot should be able to get paid for the intellectual property they create. Anyone else who creates IP should give it away for free.

When you're sleeping with the dogs, you're gonna wake up with the fleas. And with the exception of your momma, I ain't been sleeping with no dogs.

That sound you just heard was my stupendously feeble attempt at a joke going over your head.
There, fixed that for you. Normally attempts at humor should be distinguishable from the person making the comment being blind or obtuse (e.g. a large majority of the internet). Nice trite attempt at a comeback, though. ;)
