WTF?!? RIAA shows some new found sensitivity?

In response to yesterday's post of the RIAA suing a dead child, the RIAA has elected to drop the case issuing a statement: "Out of an abundance of sensitivity, we have elected to drop this particular case."
Sensitivity? Bah, as noted on Boing Boing:
The RIAA's approach to PR is much like their approach to culture in general: read-only. The RIAA issues statements like the Pope emitting a bull, and we mortals may squabble over its meaning among ourselves, but they are not available to participate in any further discussion. This is reminiscent of the RIAA's approach to things like YouTube lipsynch videos: "our songs are released to be listened to and nothing more; should you dare to make them part of your life, we will use the copyright law we bought to break you."
I think we should just all abandon all products covered by the RIAA. F*ck'em again.
RIAA's "abundance of sensitivity" ends harassment of grieving family
