Recording Industry Trying To Take Money Back From The Red Cross
from the how-nice-of-them... dept
The recording industry really is doing their best to make themselves appear pretty darn evil lately. When they're not suing 12-year-old kids for downloading nursery rhymes, they're apparently trying to freeze money donated to the International Red Cross, because it was donated by Kazaa operator Sharman Networks. You would think that, somewhere along the lines, the industry would have a PR/marketing person who would point out what a disaster this is shaping up to be.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

they ought to try this elsewhere
I'm sure that by the time the RIAA just explains that they're trying to sue the company for, not only everything they've got, but also every dollar they've ever spent, they'll make lots more.
