RIAA Sues 19-Year-Old Transplant Patient

Posted by kdawson on from the kicking-dogs-on-the-way-home dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "Just when you think they've reached rock bottom, it seems the RIAA always finds room to sink a little lower. This time they've sued an innocent, 19-year-old transplant patient, hospitalized with pancreatitis and needing islet cell transplants. Although the young Pittsburgh lady claims that she did not infringe any copyrights, she failed to answer the complaint in time, and a default judgment was taken against her. A Pittsburgh area lawyer has stated that he will represent her pro bono and make a motion to open up the default."

    Or off iTunes Plus, which is also DRM free.

    Everyone seems to forget Apple is removing DRM fast as the studios will let them. The studios are just holding the noose hoping to create a viable competitor so they will get their way instead of Apple who stands up to them.

    this one is very easy to remember in Polish.
    Pcim, a proverbial hellhole town, and Pcimcia, a little silly girl coming from Pcim.
    Of course the pronunciation is nothing like P.C.I.M.C.I.A, it just sounds exactly like a little silly girl from a hellhole town.
