Just when you think the RIAA can’t possibly sink lower…

…they prove that there is probably no bottom to the slime hole they live in.

Like something straight out of a bad made-for-TV movie, the RIAA has handed down its most recent hard-earned lesson about file sharing (and a possible $8,000 fine) to Ciara Sauro, a 19-year-old girl who suffers from pancreatitis and severe depression, has mounting medical bills and whose mother brings in just $8.25 an hour.

In the midst of her weekly required hospitalizations (because of her condition and her need for an islet cell transplant), she apparently shared a whopping 10 songs with other people over the internet. Shockingly, Sauro wasn’t able to make it in to court to defend herself, and as such, the judge entered a default judgment against her for close to $8,000.

Unlike most Americans, Sauro actually adamently denies that she was the perpetrator of the file-sharing crime, and is (obviously) outraged that she may have to pay such a hefty fine for something she didn’t do.

Note to city folk: This is one BIG horse

There is a Shire horse in England by the name of Duke that stands six feet seven inches at the shoulder, which is a world record for his breed,  and since he is just five years old, he’s still got about two years to grow.
