 Asmodeus join:2004-05-26 Spring Valley, CA | absolute nonsense this is the kind of crap that makes legitimate tort look very very bad... this is why the law and lawyers get a bad name, this is eye people treat the law and lawyers with disdain, this is why there is no respect for the general legitimacy of the issues regarding privacy... also, the need for trusted networks will become even more paramount now and this will be an even stickier issue for the RIAA to deal with... if they can't get onto and spy on these private, trusted networks, then they will have nothing and won't be able to sue anyone for the thread-barest reasons...
the mpaa/riaa legal wing is a sham and they are a public relations nightmare as an ongoing venture... yes, they have a right to defend the intellectual and actual property against illegal use and theft, but their methods suck and are highly suspect in their execution... all these type of stories do is enforce the notion that in america, a lawyer can sue the dead and can still win... and all it does is shame the legal system even further... no wonder the legal lobby doesn't want to see tort reform... it may actually make them accountable for who and how they sue... |
