Teen Accuses RIAA of Collusion

A 16 year old boy, whose family has been under constant legal siege by the RIAA who has filed cases against his mother and sister, has apparently had enough and decided to fight back by accusing the RIAA of collusion and defrauding the courts of the United States. In short, he is accusing the recording industry of being a cartel. Which actually is pretty much accurate. The industry may compete for talent but they don't compete for consumer dollars where the price of pretty much everything is agreed upon by all the companies making up the RIAA. Afterall when was the last time you saw Sony Music try to out price say Virgin? I just hope his lawyers have kept up and also attempt to get the RIAA to reveal the values and numbers they use to prove how much copyright violations are costing them as those numbers are clearly exaggerated for their own benefit. I wish him the best of luck because I am simply disgusted with the RIAA's bullying tactics.
