It appears that some inmates at El Reno federal prison in Oklahoma attempted to buy a "get out of jail free" card using copyright.

They "copyrighted" and then attempted to file suits for millions of dollars against him and seize his property with the idea of using this as leverage to be let out.

Needless to say, the indictments against them for "conspiring to impede the duties of federal prison officials" rap, and "mailing threatening communications with the intent to extort".

On the bright side, they have each received six figure offers of employment from the RIAA when they get out of stir.
