Holy grossly excessive punitive damage awards, Batman! PCWorld reports that the RIAA has won a court case against a mother from Minnesota who uploaded 24 songs to the internet. The verdict is that the woman must pay $1.92 million in fines for committing this heinous crime

Why stop there, RIAA? Why not press for $2 billion, or $Schfourteen-teen gazillion, or all the tea in China? While we're living in this fantasy world, let's all ride our dragons and unicorns to the rivers of maple syrup that flow from the Jellybean mountains.

I'm glad to see we're cracking down on piracy. These people capture innocent civilians and hold them for ransom on the seas and... oh wait. They're not the same pirates? The mother never killed anyone? Never held anyone for ransom? She just let people listen to some music?

Close enough. Obama, send the snipers after her! $1.92 in fines is being too soft on this hardened criminal.
