RIAA targets college students, again
The RIAA warns it will go after college students with a renewed vigor, and indeed the organization has sent letters to hundreds of students at 13 U.S. universities in recent weeks demanding a steep financial settlement and warning students of coming federal lawsuits if settlements aren't addressed quickly and paid in full. The average cost of defending against an RIAA lawsuit ranges into the tens of thousands of dollars, even though evidence of any wrong-doing presented may be flimsy at best.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game".
