RIAA Proves Morally Superior to Brain Eating Zombies

The RIAA has added humanitarian to its list of credentials that includes schoolyard bully and worshipers of Satan. The Dark Brotherhood of the Recording Industry has decided to drop a lawsuit which it was continuing to pursue against the grieving family of a recently deceased defendant. The man died during his litigation with the RIAA. So, the RIAA decided to go after the family’s estate for unpaid downloaded music files.

Spokesperson for the RIAA Jonathan Lamy recently came out with this:

"Our hearts go out to the Scantleberry family for their loss." … "Out of an abundance of sensitivity, we have elected to drop this particular case."

Hallelujah, the RIAA are turning over a new leaf. They have demonstrated they have a moral base line that cuts off at sucking the blood from the recently deceased. They’re at least one step above the brain eating zombies from Night of the Living Dead. Actually, wait - I take that back; the zombies only devoured the brains of the living. But it’s a bottom line nonetheless! The RIAA are at least better than necrophiliacs and cannibals.

Perhaps there is hope for this world after all. If the RIAA is holding off litigation out of an abundance of sensitivity – maybe lasting peace in the Middle East is just around the corner.

I think anytime you have to proclaim yourself as doing something out of 'an abundance of sensitivity', you're probably not going to get much gratitude. Maybe if they actually had sensitivity they could have showed some genuine concern for the family, instead of patting themselves on the back for a supposed good deed that any human with a heart would have done.  Wow, that quote is really hard to fathom.

Like all of hollywood and madison avenue - when you are run by a cartel of money-pinching jews I am surprised they stopped at "an abundance of sesnitivty" - why not just take a moment to reflect on how your greed killed a man,... and then continue.  Theives.

I always thought the RIAA had an abundance of sensitivity and it was nice of them to finally confirm it for me by telling me about it. I mean, all those albums, tapes and CDs I've bought over the years that were jam packed full of music that was just as good as the radio single; all those bands that they nursed through fame and its pitfalls; all the money they spent on content over packaging and marketing. Their "abundance of sensitivity" has always been just as apparent to me as the "compassionate conservatism" of the Republican party.....

Defenders of AllofMP3.com argue that no comparison with Limewire and the like can be made, and that’s exactly what AllofMP3 is now officially telling the press, in an attempt to justify its maintained operations.
