RIAA Declares Using Brain to Remember Songs is Criminal Copyright Infringement (satire) by Mike Adams

(NewsTarget Satire) On the heels of the RIAA's recent decision to
criminalize consumers who rip songs from albums they've purchased to their
computers (or iPods), the association has now gone one step further and
declared that "remembering songs" using your brain is criminal copyright
infringement. "The brain is a recording device," explained RIAA president
Cary Sherman. "The act of listening is an unauthorized act of copying music
to that recording device, and the act of recalling or remembering a song is
unauthorized playback."
The RIAA also said it would begin sending letters to tens of millions of
consumers thought to be illegally remembering songs, threatening them with
lawsuits if they don't settle with the RIAA by paying monetary damages. "We
will aggressively pursue all copyright infringement in order to protect our
industry," said Sherman.
In order to avoid engaging in unauthorized copyright infringement, consumers
will now be required to immediately forget everything they've just heard --
a skill already mastered by U.S. President George Bush. To aid in these
memory wiping efforts, the RIAA is teaming up with Big Pharma to include
free psychotropic prescription drugs with the purchase of new music albums.
Consumers are advised to swallow the pills before listening to the music.
The pills -- similar to the amphetamines now prescribed for ADHD -- block
normal cognitive function, allowing consumers to enjoy the music in a more
detached state without the risk of accidentally remembering any songs (and
thereby violating copyright law).
