The Register is reporting that the RIAA is suing a 12 year old girl for downloading music. What really gets me is that the RIAA president Cary Sherman said: “Nobody likes playing the heavy and having to resort to litigation”.

Who are they kidding?

If they charged a sensible price for CDs and sold MP3s themselves at sensible prices (say 50p per song) then they would be raking it in… oh wait.. they are raking it in anyway! I have very little sympathy with an industry that hasn’t cut the prices of CDs since their introduction 20 years or so ago…

Time to start looking at independant artists I think. Anyone give me some good recommendations?
