Taking money from children

It has come to pass that the RIAA has levied a $2000 fine against a 12-year-old girl from what appears to be an underpriveleged household, without ever having been required to prove its claims to anyone, least of all the U.S. legal system.

This is a practice colloquially known as extortion.

Update: The artists think so too. (via iPodLounge)
