‘Our Rights Are More Important Than Yours’
“A reverse class action suit against every human being on the entire planet” is being prepared by the RIAA, MPAA, and SCO, seeking $63 billion for unpaid royalties on every copyrighted phrase ever heard, and every benefit ever obtained from information on a Linux server. The amount comes to about $10 from every living person. “We feel this is absolutely fair, even a bargain,” says a spokesperson. In considering a location for filing the suit, “candidates included Bangladesh and Nigeria, reputedly the world’s two most corrupt countries,” and “the United States, where SCO, MPAA, and RIAA are all headquartered.”

The lawsuit may be expanded to include others who are not inhabitants of Earth. “We have not ruled out legal action against beings on other planets who may be illegally copying radio or TV transmissions they pick up from their spacecraft or with super-powerful receivers on their home worlds.”

Isn’t this a little … weird.

It’s a little satirical, I believe.
