Brittany's story.... from p2pnet

By Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman

More compelling reading from Jon Newton at p2pnet:

Dear RIAA: My name is Brittany Kruger

p2pnet news view RIAA | P2P:- ?My name is Brittany Kruger. I?m not a criminal. I?m not a tough person. I cry almost every night these days, and I?m scared to death of what is going to happen to me in the future. Most of all I?m not a pirate, I don?t have a peg leg or a hook for a hand, and I don?t raid ships on the high seas looking for booty.?

They?re the first three lines Britanny (right) wrote in a story explaining exactly what it?s like to be an American student hounded by Vivendi Universal (France), Sony BMG (Japan and Germany), EMI (Britain), and Warner Music (US, but run by a Canadian).
