I wonder if they offer a reward.

The NY Times reports that the all-American couple, the Obamas, gave the Queen of England an i-Pod filled with music and pictures from her 2007 visit as a gift.
I would absolutely love to hear the RIAA’s thoughts on the President giving the Queen some music. How would the entity that has sued household pets and corpses for sharing music feel about music being passed from one hand to another in this fashion with nary a concern for the owner’s rights? How would the RIAA write up the resulting press release when they notify the American public that our President is a pirate? It would be a fantastic read, I’ve no doubt. Aww, come on. I can’t be the only one that would find comedy gold in “RIAA vs. Obama”.
And the Queen? Well, now she thinks we’re all mindless sheep that pirate music.

The Queen’s Reaction:
“We wonder what we shall do with this one? Shall we add it to our collection of iPodæ or shall we donate it to some worthy charity… or give it to our grandson, Harry?”

I bet she’s downloading albums via torrents of the artists that she liked from Obama’s sampler of stolen music.
Luckily for her, she can now use The Pirate Bay’s anonymous VPN service, since we all know Europe’s version of the RIAA, the PRS is as laughable as ours.
