RIAA has one more lawsuit in mind..

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.

"We think this is a no brainer," said an RIAA spokesperson who declined to be identified. "These drivers have been illegally sharing music on their radios and their passengers have been getting a free ride for way too long," he continued.

Legal representatives for the RIAA also warned that they would especially be targeting the "big fish" like charter bus drivers and RV owners who blatantly turn up the radio volume allowing others to hear.

In addition, RIAA lawyers said they were hoping to get a court order to exhume the bodies of Scottish physicist James Clerk-Maxwell, who developed the theory of electromagnetic waves and Guglielmo Marconi, who discovered and harnessed wireless radio in order to sue both corpses for unfair business practices.

Is this a joke....

Yes, it's a joke. Think about it...even if you could track down every car owner's name, how would they know when someone is using the radio and, if so, how many people are in the car? I actually think it's hilarious...although I wouldn't put anything past those douche bags at the RIAA. Fuckers.

I think the problem may be that they already have a 6ft broomstick up their asses...

Man...they'd be able to get me in a heartbeat over the summer with this sh!t...I always have my stereo turned up and the windows down. I figure if all the hillbillies around my area can blare the NASCAR race and country music, I can blare whatever it is I'm listening to at the time. Most of the time when I hear the 2 above mentioned, I try to find the most "ghetto" music in my collection.

I believe you are incorrect, Stefan. What they need is, in fact, a 6 foot BOOMstick up their asses, with the trigger conveniently pulled.

Although I can't believe anybody would read past the first 4 lines and still think it's not a joke.....then again, RIAA will do just about anything to protect the wealth of the fat bastards running the show so they can exploit another band's talent, and promote another band that shouldn't have never left the garage.
