It seems the RIAA continues to delve into the retarded.
Delwin Olivan is an 18-year-old Princeton student who is being extorted by the RIAA to the tune of $5,000 as punishment for being caught promoting music by sharing it on the Internet. His fellow Princetonians have founded the Free Delwin group, which is fundraising to help pay off his settlement.
Boing Boing has a post about it, and they nicely point out how stupid it is. Really, a kid sharing music online, a university student at that, and they want to fine him? At least the artists affected will eventually see $0.0000001 cents each from the settlement.
