from the if-only dept.
Michael writes: The US Government today announced that it will open its much anticipated Do-not-Sue list to the public on January 1st, to help citizens avoid dinnertime interruptions by spurious lawsuits.
“While we are aware that lawsuits and subpoenas by the RIAA and the MPAA have not yet reached the noise level of telemarketing or spam, they are growing at an alarming rate,” said a Federal Trade Commission spokesman. “We hope the new system will prevent these risks for most consumers.”
Fred Johnson, a Cleveland street sweeper who has been sued several times, says this service couldn’t come soon enough. “I’m 52 years old and don’t even have a computer, but they think I’m illegally sharing Eminem albums and bootleg copies of The Cat in the Hat. Sometimes I get two or three subpoenas during a single dinner.”
Subject:what are you talking bout haven't reached tel
maybe I'm just being dumb but I think people that will sue pre-teens are nothing but useless blood sucking fat REPUBLICANS. Do you think if we threw anyone who works for fox news off a cliff the rest would follow?
