Recording industry withdraws suit...LOL

HAHA this woman owns a mac, wich kazaa doesn't run on! The RIAA was caught with their pants down.

Privacy advocates said the suit against a 66 year old woman, a sculptor who said she has never downloaded or digitally shared a song, revealed flaws in the Recording Industry Association of America's legal strategy. Ward was caught up in a flood of 261 lawsuits filed two weeks ago that targeted people who, through software programs like Kazaa, make copyrighted songs available for others to download over the Internet.

I say she should have counter-sued for the amount they were going to sue her for. She probably would not have won anything but it might have given riaa a little scare. 2,000 x 150,000 = $300,000,000
