No fascist people or fascist organizations represented in this commentary are representative of any PERSON or PEOPLE real or imagined.

For its part, the RIAA said that Jane Doe's
motion to intervene matters little, because a
federal court has already upheld the validity
of the subpoena process.

"The courts have already ruled that you're not
anonymous when you're publicly distributing
music online," said Matt Oppenheim, senior
vice president at the RIAA. "Her lawyers are
trying to obtain a free pass to download or
upload music online illegally. Their arguments
have already been addressed by federal court
and been rejected."
John Borland - Lone file-swapper takes on
recording industry.

Today in other news.
Thomas Paine was caught attempting to anonymously distribute a radical and dangerous document "Common Sense".

Federal courts approved the suppression of the document by the privatized, nationalistic RISS.

The RISS contend that comments within the document are previously copyrighted material by the Spaz Metal band "Metallic Democracy Destroya" Federal Red Coat Brigade REPRESENTING THE INTERESTS of the RISS and "Metallic Democracy Destroya" burst into the home of Mr. Paine, shot the children, raped his wife and arrested Mr. Paine for a future trial at an undisclosed date and location (Trial not to be televised).

Also, under the new provisions of the UnAmerican UnPatriotic Act Mr. Payne will be hanged by the neck until dead after an expedient but fair trial. The new provision define that Mr. Payne will be found guilty of attempting to subvert USSA copyright law, oh yeah and incite anonymous public terrorist dissension.

Meanwhile representing the UnAmerican UnPatriotic Act Mr. Asscroft is touring the local police state to reassure local law enforcement that the new provisions do not usurp the USSA's democratic system or undermine anyone individual freedoms or people serving UNDER the democratic government of the USSA.

The RISS is busy removing the offensive document from the legions of file sharing systems throughout the USSA. We can all rest easier with the assurance that our safety will be provided for by the representation of privatized special interest groups. Any individual caught with possession of the document will be brought before tribunal for a fair, quick, expedient trial with similar fate to Mr. Paine.

When asked what he thought he was attempting to accomplish by anonymously publishing terrorist information and violating copyright laws, Mr. Paine replied "anonymous civil disobedience by the public distribution of literature. It's only - Common Sense".
