No love for the RIAA

RIAA sues family that doesn't own a computer.

It is hard to violate file sharing or copyright infringement laws when you are not connected to the internet, let alone don't own a computer. Is this story even serious? Granted, the RIAA has not made a point of being friendly with music fans anywhere over the past few years, criminal or otherwise, but seriously, do they really understand what they are doing?

With all the DRM and file sharing suits flying around these days, the RIAA and the MPAA are turning into pretty dirty words. Personally, I haven’t really understood why the general public hasn't begun to throw up their arms and bring some attention to the ridiculous things that they are doing. I am all about managing copy written content, but seriously, when "rights management" is nothing more than a laundry list of restrictions on how and when you can use the content that you paid for, someone is beginning to overstep their bounds.

Hopefully this is just a simple mistake that slipped through the legal department without enough research, but at the very least it is a funny story.
