An anonymous BB reader has created "p2pextortion.com," a send-up of the RIAA's p2plawsuits.com. He writes, "If you compare it to p2plawsuits.com, you will see that it is almost a sentence for sentence reinterpretation, with decoding of legalese and making worst case scenario examples, along with links to supporting posts by yourself, TechDirt, Lessig, and others. The 'Pay Us' link goes to the EFF donation landing page. I am a little worried about them coming after me, even though parody is protected speech, but you do not need to give me credit, just say it is anonymous."
I am being sued? By who?#
In this case the plaintiffs are the record labels and their affiliates and subsidiaries, otherwise known as the "Big Four." We are just their paid henchmen. We do whatever we can within our legal (not moral) means that are in our interest, and then say that it is in their interest.#
Isn't it the RIIAHA that is suing me?#
No. The Big Four who are in "The Family" know as Recording Industry Idiotic Ass Holes of America (RIIAHA), and the RIIAHA lets the members of the family find the next "opportunity" to support their dying business model. #
I am a hard working college student, trying to get an education so I can contribute to the GDP, to help raise my standard of living, and increase the share of educated people in the US. Why are you going after me?#
As it turns out, going after families, kids and grandmothers is bad PR. If we can go after individual college students who are notorious for using p2p applications, we save ourselves a little heat. Besides, your parents are most likely in a high income bracket, and they can bail you out. Targeting college students makes business sense.#
