| The class-action part might well have legs.
In any case, I hope she gets a lot of those bastards deposed and on the stand. Hangs them out to dry in front of the jury.
Were I her lawyer, I would be considering bringing in Dicky Scruggs. He'd have a field day with the RIAA. |

You're making the assumption that they will tell the truth Well, an old rule of lawyerin' is "never ask a question in court you dan't already know the answer to". I am sure that these lawyers know that one pretty well. Civil suit lawyers are a specialized breed and some of the nastiest pit fighters out there. |

Hmmmm TCH...... I notice you're not addressing the right or wrong of this issue, instead locating and focusing on that instance of this case most likely to lead to failure.
It's almost like you're trying avoid the ethics of suing people in mass in order to achieve certain financial goals.
I'm sure it was just an oversight.

Re: Big money If that's true then I say more power to them.
To my knowledge the RIAA has yet to see even one of these cases through to judgement. Hundreds of thousands of threatening letters/suits and not one ever gets to the point of being ruled on by a judge. It's always settled or dropped. That is their strategy: Threaten a lawsuit in the hopes that someone will pay, and if they actually have the cojones to fight it then drop it before a judge has a chance to rule against the RIAA so they can avoid setting a precedent and derailing the gravy train.
This is blackmail, and I would love to see some Attorney General somewhere get the balls to challenge the RIAA's methods in criminal court.
I don't approve of piracy, I just disapprove of the RIAA's tactics. |

You missed it Everybody! TCH responded! But he didn't want to humiliate me with a superior arguement, so he discretely IM'd me.
Oh dear.
Well, I'll just IM him back and we'll have our reasoned discussion, privately.
except...that...TCH has blocked incoming IMs; while... he... sends out IMs.
Huh.
It's almost like he's deliberately avoiding a challenge to corporate absolution.
NAH.
I'm sure he'll turn up.
And Post.
And it will be really, really, uh, corporate.
