Among the defendants in another round of lawsuits filed against file-sharers by the Recording Industry Association of America is a Baltimore, Maryland fuzzy little kitten named Mr. Mittens. RIAA lawyers claimed that Mr. Mittens shared more than 600 songs on file-sharing service KaZaa.
"These suits are random. We don't know the identity of the defendant until the final stage of the process, said RIAA spokeswoman Amy Weiss. She added that the suits "are necessary for our industry to send a strong message to the pirate. The intellectual property of our clients is at stake and we need to do everything we can to protect it. If that means suing a fuzzy little kitten, then so be it."
"Meow," responded Mr. Mittens before he was distracted by a ball of yarn on the couch across the room and playfully started batting at it before he fell off the couch onto the floor and rolled over with a just precious look on his face. What a sweetie!
"I'm really surprised," said Mr. Mittens' owner Sharie Bush. "I know I've never seen Mr. Mittens operate a computer before. He doesn't even like music. He would much rather snuggle up against your legs or bat at insects on the other side of the window."
Head of Public Relations at the RIAA was unavailable for comment as he is on vacation and reportedly blew his brains out with a revolver after hearing of the suits.
