Warner Music sues paralyzed stroke victim

Warner Music is suing a retired railroad man in Florida whose left side has been paralyzed by a stroke and whose sole source of income is his disability check.

Although the defendant John Paladuk, an employee of C&N Railroad for 36 years, was living in Florida at the time of the alleged copyright suit, and had notified the RIAA that he had not engaged in any copyright infringement, and despite that the fact that Mr. Paladuk suffered a stroke last year which resulted in complete paralysis of his entire left side and severely impaired speech, rendering him disabled, and despite the fact that his disability check is his sole source of income, the RIAA commenced suit against him on February 27, 2007.

They tried to say this guy was heading some large piracy operation in Michigan when he was living in Florida at the actual time. You know, paralyzed people with pension checks, always driving to Michigan to head illegal music piracy operations.

Gawd, I hate RIAA, MPAA, WM, and pretty much anything to do with Music/Video industry. With the quality of the most of the drek they put out anyway, who needs em?
