RIAA vs Dead Guy

Just to prove what lovely and thoughtful human beings they are, the RIAA has introduced a motion in one of their extortion filesharing cases. The defendent has died, so they’re allowing the family sixty days to grieve before they sue the children. Anyone still think the RIAA is a reasonable group of people?

I don't think any reasonable people have ever thought the RIAA was reasonable. I would like to reference this post in my LJ to extend the exposure.

Of course, our Congresscritters seem to think the RIAA position is completely reasonable. Oh, right, "reasonable people" - hehe

I think I found this on Boing Boing. Feel free to spread the word.

If I were the children, I'd make sure that dear old Dad was going six feet under wearing headphones, and lots of illegally obtained .mp3s cranking away. It'd be a fun little joke, and the RIAA couldn't tack those charges on to the list since Dad would take that secret to the grave.
