RIAA Might Now Be Suing On Grounds Of Criminally Bad Taste

Pity poor Scott Hines: He’s the 23-year-old Maine resident who was sued by the RIAA last week for allegedly downloading five songs. And while the prospect of paying a minimum $750 per track might sting, we feel especially bad that Hines’ (allegedly) pilfered playlist is named in the suit:

– “Automobile” by NWA, Priority Records, LLC – “All Over You” by Live, UMG Recordings Inc. – “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman, Elektra Entertainment Group – “Don’t Know Why” by Norah Jones, Capitol Records Inc. – “What Would You Say” by Dave Matthews Band, BMG Music

Amazing! It’s like being stuck in a time machine that can only travel to college dorms during the years 1988, 1996, and 2003. Where’s the Cranberries?
