Please only read on if you understand satire Another great idea from the RIAA:

The Recording Industry Association of America announced today it would be expanding its crackdown on copyright infringement by suing family members, hitchhikers and carpoolers.



Lawyers for the RIAA maintain that the radio in each car was never meant to be listened to by anyone else except the original owner of the vehicle.

Therefore, any additional passengers who listen to music on the radio in another individual's car are doing so illegally and without the express permission of the copyright holders of the respective songs that are broadcast.

RIAA attorneys were preparing to go to Federal District courts across the country to have subpoenas issued to every car maker in America in the hopes of forcing them to disclose the names and addresses of all purchasers from the last 20 years.

#50954 Posted on: 01/29/2004 11:15 PM These guys must be smoking a lot of really bad crak or recieved some bad meth. I would be ashamed to be a lawyer for these jackass people. I hope that the car companies tell them to screw off.If I read the article right then people that blast a radio on the street corner are doing something illegal. KISS OFF RIAA

#50957 Posted on: 01/29/2004 11:34 PM I like the fact that this really does seem to be posted as a serious article, with no small print about it being satire...UNLIKE THE SOURCE SITE which has printed in neat little letters at the bottom: "This Article Is Satire" C'mon W2S - get. facts. straight.
