RIAA Sues Hospitalized Teenager

This isn't exactly gaming news but I thought it was pretty crazy. Imagine being 19 years old and stuck in the hospital weekly while you are waiting for a transplant only to find out you have been sued by the RIAA. Making matters worse, the family is crushed with medical bills and the mother only makes $8.25 an hour. The RIAA was awarded a default judgment in the case because the family could not afford an attorney. This feel-good holiday story was brought to you by the RIAA.

Sauro, who lives in Ross Township, is disabled with pancreatitis. She needs an islet cell transplant and is hospitalized weekly. Because she didn't defend herself against a copyright lawsuit, a federal judge in Pittsburgh ruled she's a music pirate, and that could cost the Sauros almost $8,000 in fines.
