Azazello1313 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) RIAA Sues Defunct Music Downloading Service ‘LimeWire’ For $72 Trillion The Recording Industry Association of America is reportedly suing now-defunct music downloading service LimeWire for $72 trillion. Yes, we said trillion. “An award based on the RIAA calculations would amount to more money than the entire music industry has made since Edison’s invention of the phonograph in 1877,” Judge Kimba Wood states in documents filed at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. It’s seeking compensation for each download, but with the estimated worth of the entire planet being roughly $60 trillion, RIAA certainly won’t be collecting that much cash.

matt770 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Aim high, then hope to settle for something reasonable like say, 1 or 2 tril. But with Limewire being defunct, they probably only have $500 billion on hand, tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimC Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I remember when Skins lost to me in the Huddle fight, he served me with a lawsuit for eleventy quat-loos. I paid him off by anally raping him every Thursday night at 6:30 in my Tom Landry fedora while he wore his game-worn Sonny Jergunson cup. He seemed happy with the settlement.
