Mullica Hill, NJ | they should also be required to... goto the local court of the person being sued if they decide to go the non settlement option. or in short they should not be allowed to sue a Florida resident in say California even if they do use federal courts. since the recording industry has the resources to send lawyers everywhere they should have to travel to sue.

There is a separate issue that your suggestion ignores. The mass ("John Doe") suit is intended to find out who to send the blackmail letters to and bypass the need to inform the alleged pirates that their identity is being sought without any way to for them to block/fight the fishing expedition. Unless the Judge requires that the letter be sent by the ISP WITHOUT the customer's identity being revealed to the Copyright Mob until the customer has had a chance to fight the request, there should be NO mass identity discovery suits allowed. |
