The RIAA seems to have adopted a "sue everyone policy " in its cunning plan to stop file sharers.
Not content with suing old people and children, RIAA briefs have apparently issued a writ to a person who does not own a computer.

(Name removed by Ghostship ), a home health aide who has never bought, used, or even turned on a computer in their life, was a little surprised when they got a writ for thousands of dollars saying that they where a using an online distribution system to nick music.
After calling in friendly experts to find out what an online distribution system was, they decided not to pay the RIAA a cent. So the RIAA sued.

Legal briefs have been sent to the Brooklyn federal court requesting a pre-motion conference in anticipation of making a summary judgment motion dismissing the complaint.
One has to wonder what evidence the RIAA has gathered on this individual who will go for costs.


I have edited the above post to remove identifying information folks but the story is kept as is , we wont allow the RIAA to use our site as a publicity vehicle by naming alleged infringers before a judgement has been made by the courts.

I await the outcome of this case that may well see a flurry of appeals in previous water-tight RIAA/MPAA cases.
