Counting Money

* @ 20:36

The MPAA is suing grandmothers now. It has accused a 63 year old woman of illegally downloading a copy of an Adam Sandler movie, and it wants up to $150,000 in fines for the crime. What's ingenious is this statement from an MPAA spokeswoman:

"We don't have evidence that they downloaded the films, but we do know they have these films on their computers," she said.

So they admit to invading her privacy? Or are they just paranoid. The next time they'll sue a 5 year old because they'll think the child has illegally downloaded the SpongeBob Movie, when in reality it's a disguised file set up by the EFF.
