Nope, but debts are (well, they have to be paid off out of
your inheretence before you get the rest, in many western
countries). The line the RIAA are taking is that this person
owed them x amount of money, so that out to be paid, before
the rest of their estate is past to their heirs.

Whilst I can see (from a legal perspective) why this
happens, from a sensible/reasonable/decent perspective
(particularly given the "crime" in this case) it's pretty
sick. Even from a purely business-minded line of thinking,
you think their lawyers would have advised against it due to
the bad PR. No on is going to think, "wow, they sued a dead
person's kids, they're really serious, I'd best not pirate
music". Instead, even people who otherwise agreed with the
RIAA are going to think, "These RIAA people are sick fucks,
I'll do anything I can to get them shut down."

hmm.. upon closer inspection it seems all they want is to
question the deceased persons family about other people
involved in the case, as he had indicated to them that he
was not alone.. it doesn't necessarily involve sueing(sp?)
his family or estate, but.. I think they most likely will
anyway...
