Sued By Mom |
FMQB reports: The RIAA is being taken to court
for the first time by one of the many people it has filed suit against
for file-sharing. While the other cases have all been settled out of court,

that the file-sharing program on her computer was not used by her or her
family, but by a friend of one of her children. Santangelo told The Journal

about how threatening they were." She added, "I didn't do anything wrong.

Blabbermouth reports: MOTÖRHEAD fans
are signing a petition in an attempt to get the band inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The petition text reads as follows:
"Please induct MOTÖRHEAD into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. MOTÖRHEAD are currently celebrating their
30th Anniversary and it is, quite simply, shocking that they have not received
the recognition they deserve.
"Without MOTÖRHEAD, the hard rock
and metal music scenes would look very different today. They have influenced
numerous bands over the years, including METALLICA, SLAYER, SEPULTURA,
ZEKE, SLIPKNOT, ANTHRAX, TANK, OVERKILL, and PETER PAN SPEEDROCK. [It's
doubtful the braindead Crock Hall will listen, see full story for more]-

was so sudden," says FENIX front man Willie Salazar, "We were caught up
