RIAA Gets Sued
I think people who pirate are scum, but I”m not a fan of the RIAA either. Their tactics have done nothing to solve the problem and a lot to exacerbate it. You’d think that executives with years of education behind them would have the critical thinking skills to realize that suing middle school students and handicapped people for swapping music isn’t going to do much to help their cause. Instead, most of them are blinded by greed, isolated inside their ivory towers, or both. So no one at any of the music labels has done anything to prevent the RIAA from digging itself deeper and deeper into the massive hole of negative public opinion it has created. Enter a class action lawsuit against the RIAA.
A single mother from Oregon has a long list of complaints against the RIAA. When you read what they did, it’s enough to boil your blood. Whoever is calling the shots at the RIAA must have the brain capacity of the Decider himself. I’m hoping this suit goes forward as a class action and that everyone who has ever come under the RIAA’s thumb gets on board. This is one case of corporate machinery gone awry that needs to be remedied as soon as possible. Make them pay several hundred million dollars to the people they’ve attacked over the past few years and see how long they continue with their stupidity.
