University To RIAA: Pay Us To Send Settlement Letters > Gasping For Money

said by pnh102:

Any person or entity in the USA can legally sue anyone else for any reason, regardless of merit. Of course, such lawsuits can be declared frivolous or can be dismissed outright, but the burden of proof is on the defendant to prove that he/she is not liable. Of course, that means "lawyering up" and spending tons of money to defend oneself in court.

Someone else said this once, and it applies here perfectly... There's a reason it is called the "legal system" and not the "justice system."
