Lawyer asks RIAA to investigate Bush twins

tanman writes: After reading an article in the Miami Herald that said "[President] Bush's twin daughters, gave him a CD they had made for him to listen to while exercising", a Florida lawyer calculated statutory damages of 1.8 million dollars and has sent a letter to the RIAA asking that they "display the same vigor in prosecuting this matter and protecting the rights of your rights-holders that it has displayed in enforcing those rights against other alleged violators." From the letter, "This is a serious violation of copyright. As you know, whichever of your member organizations that are right-holders for the copied musical works may be entitled to statutory damages of $150,000.00 per musical work copied."

What happens if the RIAA does *NOT* sue?

Can ordinary citizens use a claim of "selective enforcement" as a defense? After all, if the President's own daughters are immune from the necessity of obeying the RIAA-bought law, how can ordinary citizens be expected to follow their diktats?
