Sony Exec. enslaved worker

Whats great about this this article is the first line. This guy is going after children downloading their favorite songs while he enslaves a poor immigrant. Sony is one of the major Corporations behind the RIAA crackdown of downloaders. This story says a lot about the morality of Sony, and what they think of the little guy. One might think about the RIAA, and their slave ownership practices when concidering a new purchase.

ONE OF THE brains behind the entertainment industry's moves to drag old ladies, children and other file-sharers through the courts has just lost a slavery case. A court found that the maid of James Jackson, a vice president of legal affairs at Sony Pictures Entertainment, was entitled to more than $850,000 to settle charges of enslavement and assault and battery.
The jury found that Nena Ruiz was kept against her will and Jacksom paid her only $300 for a year of work at his Los Angeles home.
