RIAA Sues BlackBerry and SMS Users Over Pantented Language Use
"Suburbanites have been stealing from Hip Hop culture for decades. If European companies can sue BlackBerry for SMS, then we need some of that money too!" RIAA (Reparations Is All Around) President 2Poppa Cap Inya said Thursday.
RIAA represents members of the hip hop community, claiming that the entire short message craze was started, developed, and distributed by Hip Hop artists.

RIAA has patents pending with the EU.
