The RIAA continues to be a first rate group of tools - witness their latest lawsuit:

A federal lawsuit filed this week in Rome by the Recording Industry Association of America alleges that Carma Walls, of 117 Morgan St., Rockmart, has infringed on copyrights for recorded music by sharing files over the Internet. The lawsuit seeks an injunction and requests unspecified monetary damages.

There's a small problem with the allegations:

This came as shocking news to the Walls family, who were notified of the lawsuit Friday afternoon by a newspaper reporter. James Walls, speaking on behalf of his wife and family, said they have not been served with legal papers and were unaware of the lawsuit.

After being shown a copy of the court filing, Walls said he found the whole thing bewildering.

“I don’t understand this,” Walls said. “How can they sue us when we don’t even have a computer?”

Like much of the other stuff the RIAA does, facts simply don't matter. The idea is to scare the crap out of anyone within range of the press release. I rather suspect that they have some moron who thinks he tracked an IP address to the house in question - never mind how recent it was, and never mind the possibility of unsecured WiFi (very common) being used by someone in a nearby house. Heck, before I bought my latest router, my notebook sometimes found the neighbor's setup before mine - and I wouldn't notice until I tried to access something on the LAN.
