Apparently, the RIAA will continue to sue you after you are dead.
Larry Scantlebury has been fighting the RIAA in court over his alleged downloading of music files. Despite Scantlebury's recent death, instead of merely dropping the case, the RIAA have filed for a 60 day respite before continuing with the suit against Scantlebury's estate because
Plaintiffs do not believe it appropriate to discuss a resolution of the case with the family so close to Mr. Scantlebury's passing. Plaintiffs therefore request a stay of 60 days to allow the family additional time to grieve.
Hmmm...wouldn't the smart PR move be just to offer to drop the case? lol
The Smart PR Move
The smart PR move? Are you kidding? Let me tell you something. Mr. "Scantlebury" is no doubt, at this very moment, roasting to a crisp in hell. And he'll be there for all eternity. Why? Because he STOLE music. It's like the RIAA has always said; illegally downloading a song is the equivalent of busting into a CD store, mowing down everyone there with a machine gun, all the whilst burning the flag and preventing free speech. These music pirates are the very worst sort of anti-American scum, and it's no secret they're in league with Al Queda. Osama Bin Laden is well-known for his heavy reliance on Bit Torrent to illegally procure the latest RIAA-protected American artists like Madonna.
Dying is CERTAINLY no excuse to drop the punitive actions, and an eternity spent in the company of Beezelbub and his all his hellish instruments of torture doesn't adequately compensate artists who've lost everything they had because of pirates like Scantelbury. If Mr. Scantelbury wants to take the easy way out by dropping his pulse, then I (humbly) suggest we go for his relatives. If his wife can't pay, we'll go for the son. Under no circumstance will we relax our vigilance and Sacred Love of Justice (TM).
