Pope Benedict to Receive Nasty Letter from RIAA?
Pope Benedict to Receive Nasty Letter from RIAA?:
File this under "funny for now" but given the RIAA's latest flip-flop on the legality of ripping your own CDs, maybe not funny for long.
A Copyfight reader pointed me to the Canonist blog, on which we read a report of Pope Benedict XVI being given a gift of a pre-loaded iPod, containing "a sampling of the radio’s programming in English, Italian and German and musical compositions." As the blogger notes, it's unlikely that these tracks were individually paid for, as the RIAA would have us do. We can barely wait until the Cartel's jihad reaches the Holy See.
