This little bit caught my eye in a recent nytimes article about Obama’s aide.

Basically, the RIAA would want to sue Obama for up to $150,000 stolen/pirated from his friend’s music collection.

Here’s the quote:

After the Democratic presidential debate in Philadelphia in April, Mr. Obama borrowed a move from the rapper Jay-Z and mimed brushing off his shoulders, but it was Mr. Love who had uploaded his music to the senator’s iPod in the first place — a silver Nano that he bought the senator for his 46th birthday.
