RIAA Sues Poor Little Girl, takes lunch money, gives wedgie, swirly.

I know everyone is talking about this, but what kind of people sue a 12 year-old girl living in the projects? She settled for $2k and the whole story shows what kind of bullies those damn RIAA people are. I’ll bet those artists will see nary a dime of what those extortionists pull from that little girl’s mom.
The best quote of the day, comes from Verizon’s lawyer:

The top lawyer for Verizon Communications Inc., William Barr, charged earlier yesterday during a Senate hearing that music lawyers had resorted to a “campaign against 12-year-old girls” rather than trying to help consumers turn to legal sources for songs online. Verizon’s Internet subsidiary is in a protracted legal fight against the RIAA over copyright subpoenas sent Verizon customers

  1. It seems they went a pirate huntin’ with a shotgun and had no idea who the subpeonas would turn up. They’ve sued college professors, grandparents and lawyers… mostly home users with relatively small numbers of files.
    This would make sense to me if they were targeting Joe HaXor with 19,000 mp3′s and a fat pipe, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
