RIAA suing the dead

The Recording Industry of America has filed suit against a dead women who supposedly made more then 700 songs available.

The 83-year-old woman died in December and was even rumored to having hated computers according to the deceased daughter.

"I believe that if music companies are going to set examples they need to do it to appropriate people and not dead people," Robin Chianumba told AP. "I am pretty sure she is not going to leave Greenwood Memorial Park to attend the hearing."

Ironically the RIAA had eve received a death certificate even before the suit was filed.

The RIAA has also sued a 12-year-old girl as she had an MP3 file of her favorite TV show on her hard drive. This lead to her working class parents having to pick up the two thousand dollar settlement.
