The dinosaur sues the snowstorm.

RIAA could be using these millions of dollars to adapt, improvise, and embrace new techology. They could enclose all the music videos in high quality on DVD with each music CD, they could include T-shirts, posters and other tangibles with their electronic product, or how about a % off concert tickets or draws for front row seats and to see the band backstage for legal purchasers? There have to be a hundred ways they could enhance their product.

No creativity, only hostility. They are trying to unlight the match; sue the snowstorm for the climate change. They had their day in the sun, and it looks like instead of evolving - this dinosaur is showing it's true nature by only thrashing around and trying to reverse the climate change while it becomes extinct; not caring what or who they hurt to get what they want.

And hopefully the courts will see this.
