Lawyers representing several record companies have filed suit against an 83-year old woman who died in December, claiming that she made more than 700 songs available on the internet.
“I believe that if music companies are going to set examples they need to do it to appropriate people and not dead people,” Robin Chianumba told AP. “I am pretty sure she is not going to leave Greenwood Memorial Park to attend the hearing.”

I have to wonder about that 83-year old woman who died in December who supposedly made more than 700 songs available on the internet.
Quite a hip gal wasn’t she? Maybe somebody else was using her name?
Still, I don’t blame the record industry for backing off this case. — D.H.
