Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

"Artists"?

AP tech writer Ted Bridis reports:
Among the RIAA's recent targets is retiree Ernest Brenot, 79, of Ridgefield, Wash., who wrote in a handwritten note to a federal judge that he does not own a computer nor can he operate one.

Brenot was accused of illegally offering for download 774 songs by artists including Vanilla Ice, U2, Creed, Linkin Park and Guns N' Roses.
Getting past the obvious problem of suing someone without a computer for illegally sharing files, who in the world would give Vanilla Ice and Linkin Park the title of "artists"?
Actually I'm fully in favor of the RIAA in this case. The more bad publicity they get for these idiotic bot-search lawsuits, the sooner they'll be forced to drop the whole thing—either as a public relations move, or (hopefully) as a court order.
