RIAA claims computerless woman was a pirate
Downloading by telepathy apparently

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 woman who does not own a computer.


Marie Lindor, a home health aide who has never bought, used, or even turned on a computer in her life, was a little surprised when she got a writ for thousands of dollars saying that she was a using an online distribution system to nick music.

After Lindor called in friendly experts to find out what an online distribution system was, she decided not to pay the RIAA a cent. So the RIAA sued her.

She sent her briefs 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 Lindor. Lindor will go for costs. More here.
