      Sacrifice a lawyer and pay U: place a +1/+1 RIAA Kraken token in play.
      Tap a lawyer and pay UU: RIAA Kraken gets +1/+1 until end of turn.
      Tap five lawyers and pay UUBBB: RIAA Beast gets +5/+5, protection from white, and trample until end of turn.
      Sacrifice RIAA Kraken: all Pirates gain phasing(1).

      Color text: Arrr, we was sailin' to Pirate Bay when out of the Sea rose a toothsome creature of many arms -- I feared 'twas Cthulhu, but we weren't that lucky -- we had run across the RIAA Kraken.

    BadAnalogyGuy is right. We need people that know how to bend the law every which way in order to fight these corporate crooks and their armies of lawyers that know how to trample the law.

    You think pulling an old lady who doesn't own a computer up on charges for sharing music over the Internet was bad... wait until they have the power of the NSA/CIA/FBI behind them.

    Trust me, next time she will have a computer, and the files in question will be there!
