It’s satire now, but that’s what we thought when the Onion published a joke five years ago about lawyers suing Big Chocolate over obesity, and turned out to be merely prescient: “The Recording Industry Association of America announced Tuesday that it will be taking legal action against anyone discovered telling friends, acquaintances, or associates about new songs, artists, or albums.” (“RIAA Bans Telling Friends About Songs”, Nov. 30). More on and from the Onion: Nov. 3; May 26; Apr. 15; Nov. 6, 2003. More on the RIAA: Feb. 7.
