Disabled mother takes on RIAA

[Archived in Entry]

[untitled #3] I want to say that picking on an innocent, disabled, single mother is going to make the RIAA look bad, but they’re already sued 14-year-old girls and dead people and sought hundreds of billions of dollars from college students, for god’s sake. How could they look worse?
