I read this news item recently in Slashdot and think it’s really unfortunate that this could happen:

–

The RIAA has sued an innocent, 19-year-old transplant patient, hospitalized with pancreatitis and needing islet cell transplants.

Although the young Pittsburgh lady claims that she did not infringe any copyrights, she failed to answer the complaint in time, and a default judgment was taken against her. A Pittsburgh area lawyer has stated that
he will represent her pro bono and make a motion to open up the default.”
