RIAA

Now, we all know about the RIAA. If you ask me, they are just a pack of extortionists who have nothing better to do than ruin the lives of people by placing large settlements on people so they won't have to go to court....or they go to court and get even bigger settlements placed on them.

This is the plight of a MIT student named Cassi Hunt. I know her story may be old news, but I consider it pertinent to now. I will post excerpts from an article here:

Cassi Hunt has recently been accused by the RIAA of being guilty of file-sharing. We all know what happens now: the RIAA will extort her for thousands of dollars (in Cassi's case, $3750) as a "settlement" to prevent her having to go to court. Or, as Cassie puts it in her highly entertaining and witty account: " Let us screw you over gently now, or with chains and whips in court."

Now, Cassi's remark is quite hilarious....and here is the RIAA's response:

But get this. When Cassi mentions she can't afford $3750, being an MIT student already up to her eyeballs in a lifetime's worth of debt, the RIAA helpfully countered: So? Drop out of school so you can afford it.

So the RIAA has shown it's true colors finally. Personally...I say the whole lot of them can go fuck themselves. They can't stop all of us, and they never will.
