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. |
