More misdeeds of the Digital Rights Mafia…<\/p>\nMore misdeeds of the Digital Rights Mafia…<\/p>\n
The Recording Industry Association of America has done a number of distressing, disgusting, and disgraceful things in its never-ending quest to fill its coffers with ill-gotten gains from every American with an internet connection. The news out of Pittsburgh, however, carries what we have to class as the most depraved stunt we’ve seen them pull so far.<\/p>\n
According to the Pittsburgh ABC-affiliate, the latest amusement for the vampiric-nitwits in the RIAA’s legal department has been to sue nineteen-year-old Ciara Sauro for allegedly sharing an industry-crushing ten songs online<\/a>. […] The evil file-sharer they’ve decided to go after is no iPod-toting high school student with a P2P fetish \u00e2\u20ac\u201d she’s a disabled pancreatitis patient who has to be hospitalized weekly while she waits for an islet cell transplant. Now, thanks to the RIAA’s steamroll-for-justice campaign, she’s on the hook for $8,000 \u00e2\u20ac\u201d in addition to the mounting medical bills she and her mother already can’t afford to pay.<\/p>\n
[…]<\/p>\n
Although we really didn’t think it possible, we’re left with an even lower opinion of the RIAA than we had before \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and a few choice phrases we’re too polite to print. The acrid taste left by their actions is tempered, though, by the knowledge that Ciara Sauro now has an experienced advocate of her own. We wish her a speedy resolution to the matter at hand, a healthy transplant, and a rapid recovery.<\/p>\n
