LOS ANGELES, CA – 38-year old Joe “Papa” Razzi, a celebrity tabloid writer from California and a prior member of a garage band, "The Hedge Clippers," recently recorded a song he wrote himself. He then promptly copyrighted that song, "I fooled y’all," and uploaded it to a peer-to-peer file sharing network.

Astoundingly, he logged in and illegally downloaded his own song and then sued the file sharing network for copyright infringement. He won $100,000 by, in effect, suing himself.

“That freaking rocks,” Razzi told CoverUps.com. “I just might be able to quit that dumb-ass job of mine and hit Vegas big time. Oh… I really hoped to bring attention to the plight of struggling recording artists, too. Yeah, right. They can all kiss my…”

His boss at Romances.com claims Joe is simply full of crap, and that this is consistent with many of his inane stunts.

“This isn’t surprising,” said human resources at Romances.com. “You have to understand that this guy has buried about ten grandmothers in the past five years and has made a mockery of our family leave of absence policy. This is just the sort of crap I would expect him to do. Good grief - does the man have no shame?”

The record industry is aghast at the thoughts of consumers suing themselves over downloading their own uploaded songs.

“This is not something we anticipated,” said Barret Wallace, legal attorney who represents a large number of copyright cases for multi-million dollar record labels who are against anyone downloading free songs on the Internet. “But, wow, who would have thought you could even sue yourself and win?”

“I mean nowadays anybody can be sued, so perhaps it was only a matter of time before you could sue yourself,” he said, shaking his head in bewilderment. “I just think it turns upside down the notion that a man who represents himself in court has a fool for a client.”

“Maybe, that convention has changed,” Wallace said, “Now he just might be a genius!”
