Shmuck of the Week

When are people going to learn to turn off the “Allow Sharing” function in Kazaa? Isn’t this how most of the RIAA’s tarets have been caught?

New shmuck of the week goes to Boston University graduate student Joel Tenenbaum, for getting caught and earning himself a $1 million lawsuit from the RIAA.

Why does Mr. Tenenbaum deserve such notoriaty? Certainly not because he’s just another busted music pirate. No, of course not. It’s because of his mom.

His mom, you say? Yes. According to the article in Boston University’s Daily Free Press, Mr. Tenenbaum’s mother is a lawyer who specializes in copyright and Internet law.

Now he’s being helped by cross-river rival Harvard Law professor Charles Nesson.
