Evil Inc.

The recording industry goes before a jury for the first time in their efforts to curb piracy, specifically, while suing a thirty-year-old mother for more than $1 million for online file sharing. A sample of their argument from day 1:

Jennifer Pariser, the head of litigation for Sony BMG, told the jury that copying even music you paid for – as in, say, uploading it to your MP3 player or adding it to your iTunes playlist – qualifies as "stealing." "When an individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I suppose we can say he stole a song," Pariser testified.

That ought to go over well.
