Exactly why I don't buy music anymore. If they lose the DRM, then I will consider it again.
I would think that if she can prove that Best Buy removed the HD on their own and that she didn't ask them to do it, she should be in the clear. Who knows? Maybe they'll start accusing Best Buy of conspiracy then.
I don't event think she needs to do that. Granted this is civil court and the burden of proof isn't the same as criminal court, the RIAA is still missing that key evidence. The RIAA is making the claim, so it's on them to make a case. If I'm a juror and you can't prove to me that someone actually did steal from you, I'm never going to rule in your favor. On the other hand, if they can prove it another way, she's f***ed.
