“I'm suing myself because I sued myself.”

MP3Board [1] is currently getting sued by the RIAA [2] for copyright infringement by distributing MP3s. MP3Board has turned around and sued AOL [3] because their subsidiary, Nullsoft [4] created Gnutella [5]. MP3Board wants AOL to share some of the liability for music piracy if MP3Board is found guilty. MP3Board's reasoning is that piracy wouldn't be happening as much if AOL's subsidiary hadn't created Gnutella.
