Hey, feel like getting angry? Worth reading is Wired's take on the litigation activities of the RIAA. They're apparently "cracking down" on the criminal masterminds of digital piracy; namely: single moms, the disabled, and the elderly. Looks like Granny Crabtree's been downloading Jim Nabors hymns again - maybe 10 years on a chain gang will turn her off her wicked ways...
My favorite part of this is where they go after the disabled single mom for a million in damages:
"I don't even know how to download music," said Tanya Andersen, a disabled single mother from Oregon who lives on Social Security benefits. "The user names (they cite) I have never heard of."
Andersen is one of three single parents claiming to have been erroneously identified as an illegal music trader by a law firm representing RIAA interests, which is seeking more than $1 million in damages -- $750 for each of the 1,400 songs Andersen allegedly shared.
