"These people give Joe Stalin a good name"

No real commentary here, I just felt like including links to stories about the RIAA's current legal actions that had what I felt to be choice quotes.

"It's time for the RIAA's winged monkeys to fly back to the castle and leave the Munchkins alone" - The Washington Post

"During a U.S. Senate hearing on Tuesday, Mr. Sherman was asked: "Are you headed to junior high schools to round up the usual suspects?"" - The Globe and Mail

"Record companies suing 12-year-old girls for file sharing is kind of like horse-and-buggy operators suing Henry Ford." - SFGate

Finally, as much as I hate to link to the The Inquirer as I see them as an excellent example of the concept of yellow journalism¹, I feel the need to include this quote:

"A few months ago, they announced over 700 lawsuits, and that tided them over for a while. Numbers show that since that announcement, file sharing is down substantially, and record sales are, err, down substantially also. Probably just a blip, sales declines of late have nothing to do with overpriced CDs, bad music offerings, and alienated users, it must be those filthy pirates." - The Inquirer

¹Interesting side note: apparently Joeseph Pulitzer, the man for whom the Pulitzer Prize is named, is generally not regarded favourably by historians due to his use of yellow journalism in The World.
