Okay, I realize I probably can't say that with quite the conviction of Chuck D and his boys in Public Enemy, but that's how this story released by the Associated Press makes me feel.
Remember that litigation spree the RIAA and a few of the major record labels went on a few years ago where they brought lawsuits against kids and their parents for downloading and sharing music? Apparently one of the young boys the RIAA decided to sue has filed a counter suit. Robert Santangelo was only 11 years old when the four labels suing him claim the music downloading took place. Despite not having any proof of Robert engaging in any illegal downloading activity, the RIAA continued to prosecute him and his family for the past four years.
Santangelo has maintained his innocence and has now gone one step further by filing a suit against his accusers accusing them of violating antitrust laws, conspiring to defraud the courts, and making extortionate threats. Wow, that's a mouthful. I'll bet Chuck D could still make it rhyme.
