In 2003, Brianna Lahara was a twelve-year-old honors student who lived in a New York City Housing Authority apartment. In September of that year, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) filed 261 lawsuits against claimed “egregious” file-swapping computer users, including Lahara (Borland 1). Another one of these lawsuits was targeted toward Sarah Seabury Ward, a 66-year-old sculptor. Ward’s suit claimed that she had downloaded over two thousand songs, including “I’m a Thug” by rapper Trick Daddy using Kazaa, a then-popular file sharing program. However, Ward only owned a Macintosh computer, which will not run Kazaa (Gaither 2-8). Ward and Lahara were both targeted as electronic criminals in the RIAA’s crusade against music downloads. /* The RIAA wasted judicial tax money on improperly investigated claims etc? go on to say how with the improper legislature that you are saying needs reform is allowing this WANTON DEBAUCHERY (don't use that phrase) to continue, or something, etc etc */
