THE RIAA has egg on its face yet again after it decided to drop a lawsuit against a 66 year old grandmother who it accused of downloading 2000 songs.
Sarah Ward was one of the targets of a blizzard of legal actions against alleged file swappers. The RIAA thinks that a sum of $150,000 for a download of every song is the price such pirates should pay. The RIAA decided to beat a hasty retreat on the case fearing that it would look like it was a really, really mean and vindictive organization, we suspect. The Inquirer has more. Update:The RIAA withdraws the lawsuite against Sarah Ward.
