Federal Marshals armed with tear gas and flash bang grenades and accompanied by the paramilitary unit of the RIAA, the ultra secret "CopyRight Army Paramilitary" (CRAP) took down one of the largest day care centers in the country today. Three of the CRAP operatives suffered injuries ranging from bites on ankles to facial bruises caused by thrown objects. According to a RIAA spokesperson, the children held them off for several hours by throwing wooden blocks and other plastic items. Several others suffered embarassing episodes where some of the captives threw up or urinated on the CRAP operatives. "We were taking casualties but we just waited them out, and eventually they all laid down to take a nap, and then we swept in and took control of the day care center, along with the teachers." Confiscated in the raid were 5 containers of babywipes, 4 boxes of diapers, 7 boxes of cookies, 43 cartons of apple juice and in excess of 3 gallons of milk.

"These centers are best described as 'piracy training grounds where students are taught to share and share alike" said Cary Sherman, President, RIAA. "This despicable behavior will not be tolerated, these children grow up to share music." In addition we have asked federal authorities to charge the teachers under the US Patriot act as these are obviously "Copyright terrorists". They hurt artists, musicians, songwriters, those who invest in their work and the thousands of others who work to bring music to the public."

When asked about the decision to take down the daycare center, Cary Sherman stated "We chose our target very carefully, knowing they didn't have the funds to fight us, and that we could intimidate them into submission."

The Recording Industry Association of America is the trade group that represents the U.S. recording industry. Its mission is to foster a business and legal climate that supports and promotes our members' creative and financial vitality. Its members are the record companies that comprise the most vibrant national music industry in the world. RIAA® members create, manufacture and/or distribute approximately 90% of all legitimate sound recordings produced and sold in the United States.

In support of this mission, the RIAA works to protect intellectual property rights worldwide and the First Amendment rights of artists; conduct consumer industry and technical research; and monitor and review - - state and federal laws, regulations and policies. The RIAA® also certifies Gold®, Platinum®, Multi-Platinum?, and Diamond sales awards, Los Premios De Oro y Platino?, an award celebrating Latin music sales.

This all may be a "parody" now . . . but we may not be all that far away from such a scenario becoming reality, given the RIAA's particular police-state proclivities.

Don't be so paranoid. Sure, they are trying to be a fascist police-state. But really, what are the chances of them arresting babies for something they will do in the future?

Good job! It's about time those daycare's started getting what they deserve. Tiny tot pocket's of totalitarianism. The government should be using smart bombs and special forces to annihilate these terrorist cells.

Long live freedom!

Heh, they may not go after nurseries but I wouldn't put it past them to start visiting high schools and perhaps even junior schools to give talks on piracy in the same way the police visit to lecture on drugs.

Yeah, but just as DARE has largely been a failure in keeping kids from doing drugs, the Copyright Enforcement Education Program or CREEP will fail as well.

And just like "CREEP," DARE contains loads of false government/monopoly/fascist-provided information.

Yeah, they told my kid that all drugs are bad. She gives me a lecture every time I go to the pharmacy for cholesterol medication.

the day will come............

the problem with some parody is that you risk exposing yourself as taking yourself too seriously.

way too seriously.
