I say they will dig up his body and take the jewelry and any gold in his dentalwork.
The RIAA Nazis are scumbags.
I have 10,000 + LPs and hav GIVEN AWAY 2,000 CDs that I paid for. I still have 600 CDs that I PAID for that are keepers.
I have rebought MANY MANY of the same titles over the years.
The folks who download can do so on my dime anyday.
The major recording companies deserve to go bankrupt.
I wonder what the story would've been like if the RIAA went to court & a subpoena was issued?
"You’ve requested an abcnews.com page that does not exist".

The plot thickens.
The person in question was a woman, who, "did not own a computer, was computer illiterate, and wouldn't even know how to turn one on."
Yet another 'black eye' on the faces of the RIAA, which could be an acronym for 'really ignorant, arogant a**holes.
Just my opinion, but any time an entity becomes so large that it can and or will sue dead people of her situation, they deserve all the contempt I (maybe we) can muster.
Not only do they resell us 'Bridge Over Troubled Water" for the fourteenth time on a new type of medium, they probably cheat Simon and Garfunkel out of their fair share.
