RIAA (Recording Industry Artists Association) has announced that they intend to sue Osama Bin Laden in an attempt uncover his where-abouts. Mr. Bush stated in his recent address that RIAA now has more far reaching powers to uncover wrong doers than the government does and is calling on the organization to pursue one of the Oval Office’s most wanted.
In a statement to the public on the issue, the White house has published the following;
“RIAA has demonstrated that they are willing to go to any lengths to find individuals who deserve prison time for their wrongful actions. Just look at the number of children and young adults they have been able to find and prosecute in our own country. We feel they are the right people for the job.”
RIAA followed up with their own press release;
“We believe that we will be victorious in our hunt for Osama Bin Laden. The DMCA, (Digital Millennium Copyright Act), has given us the ability to completely wreck the livelihood of thousands of otherwise law abiding young men women and children across this great country. We feel it is now time to take those abilities and exercise them abroad. We are sure that we will have Osama within our crosshairs before the week’s end. Downloading music illegally is absolutely the most heinous crime we think of, and we will severely punish him as we have done to others here in our own country.”
