The RIAA is thanking Baltimore for going after music pirates:
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) will present a number of awards to police and prosecutors for their professionalism in the ongoing successful effort to charge and prosecute defendants who engage in music piracy. Dozens of these cases are prosecuted annually by the State’s Attorney’s Office.

Baltimore doesn't have the resources to prosecute violent felons properly, but they're going after music pirates! For god's sake, how much money did the RIAA give to Pat Jessamy's campaign?
Ditto to what ppatin said. My very first reaction.
...Except the corruption yarn.
A thievning hoodlum was shot & killed in Park Heights this morning.
Believe me, Jessamy will seek the death penalty against the dude, and dead hoodlum's family will cry that the dead thief was trying to turn his life around, go straight, etc. etc.
Get an education, ppatin and mikem. understand that proving a piracy case involves alot less than proving a case against a violent felon where none of the witnesses will come forward because they are (justifiably) scared of this god-forsaken city.
Oh yeah, no name. Let's spend police resources to protect the profits of the "kill em if they diss ya", "whore, bitch, ho...suck this, sister" gangster rappers who do so much to counter the neighborhood violence. Yeah, let's do that.
Mikem,
Those types of cases are guys who are selling bootleg copies of movies and tapes on street corner or on the subway. All you have to do to prove the case is have someone from RIAA come in and look at what was seized and say it isn't copyrighted. As previously noted not very hard to prove. RIAA always comes in for those cases because they have a $$ stake in stopping pirated music from being sold on the streets. Before making a comment try having a vague idea of what you are talking about.

L,
What a pompous ass you are. Baltimore is a "god-forsaken city", but you are so dollar worshipping that you want to see our taxes used to protect the profits of those who add to its misery. Heaven forbid poor blacks should pay less than premium prices for your violence worshipping artists. (Little L might have to do without his 5.0 Mustang!)
Why not just dig out your family's white sheeted robe and come out of the closet. Maybe you can pick up a few pennies as a reward.
