The RIAA is being sued by a California resident, Eric Parke, on behalf of the states general public. He claims that the RIAA's latest <a target="_blank" href="http://www.short-media.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3195&highlight=riaa+amnesty">amnesty program<a> is a fraudulent and deceptive business practice.

It is "designed to induce members of the general public...to incriminate themselves and provide the RIAA and others with actionable admissions of wrongdoing under penalty of perjury while (receiving)...no legally binding release of claims...in return," according to the complaint.
The RIAA responded to the suit with a maxim: "No good deed goes unpunished, apparently."
