Leave it to the RIAA to rub a burning issue in everyone’s face and come off as more of a dick then we already knew they were. Earlier today, RIAA Senior Vice President of Communications, Jonathan Lamy decided to exercise his own freedom of speech via his Twitter page. Mr. Lamy also decided to exercise his own freedom to be a moron with what he said:
“After Wikipedia blackrout, somewhere, a student today is doing original research and getting his/her facts straight. Perish the thought.”
As you can see, Lamy’s statement clearly defines his level of professionalism. Furthermore, someone must have pointed out to him either that he blatantly misspelled “blackout” in his criticizing and demeaning tweet, or to get ready for the massive PR nightmare that would soon follow. Needless to say, the tweet was deleted and nobody outside of Lamy’s massive follower list of about 210 people were subjected to his ignorance. Thanks to Gizmodo for their screengrab, we’re here to spread the word.
Hey RIAA, you didn’t think you were going to get off that easy, did you?
