"Descendant of Beethoven
To Sue Napster
-Edgar Winter
In a press conference earlier this morning, foolbrain.com has learned that a direct descendant of the famous composer Ludwig Beethoven has decided to take legal action against internet MP3 giant Napster.
Descendant Ralph Beethoven Jr. explains the reasoning for his decision to sue. "I feel cheated every time I hear one of Ludwig's number one smash hits on the radio. Just because he's been dead for a couple hundred years shouldn't mean I don't deserve some cash out of the deal."
The news came as quite a shock to the music industry, and have many fearing that this could be just the tip of the iceberg.
Music historian Al Chime explains. "I think it's absurd. One guy called me and said he was Mozart's nephew, and was going to sue the pants off anyone playing his uncle's tunes."
The case is scheduled to be heard in court later this month.
Ralph Beethoven Jr. looks
remarkably similar to his
more famous relative."
