Grandpa Murphy Talks about Downloading Music
→1 Now, back when I was a kid, the closest thing to sending an e-mail was tying a note to a pigeon and throwing him in the direction of the person you wanted to talk to. I never thought in a million years that I'd be sued for illegally downloading music.
2 I was doing my morning crossword puzzle, enjoying my coffee and prune juice, when the mailman knocked on my door. I got some not-so-good news in a letter from a company called the Recording Industry Association of America, or the RIAA for short. They're the folks who represent record companies and their performers. They told me in this pretty, pink stationery that I was violating copyright laws by downloading music off the Internet, and they weren't too happy about it. Copyright laws are these doohickeys that give artists, writers, or musicians control over how their work is used and reproduced. Apparently, today, downloading music is like when we used to steal a pie off old Ms. Roundtree's windowsill. But, rather than a paddle to the keister, the RIAA will sue your keister.
3 Now, the funny thing is, I didn't even know I had connection to the Internet, let alone how to download a song by P-Doody, or whatever that wisecracking young man's name is. So, I had a talk with my grandkids (whom I've nicknamed Up To and No Good) after this little runabout with the law, because I have a sneaking suspicion that they might have something to do with this.
4 My computer now has a password function to keep mischievous whippersnappers from getting their old granddad thrown behind bars. This is a great thing, except now I'm having a hard time remembering the password.
