Re: uh huh
Actually, I believe one person who was sued has counter-sued the RIAA under RICO. I can't remember the details now, but I hope that the RIAA loses because this is extortion. They sue you (to get your contact info), then pull you aside and say "Look, this could be a really expensive lawsuit. You might wind up owing millions of dollars to us. Wouldn't you much rather make it all go away for the paltry settlement fee of $3,000. Just sign here. No, you don't have to sign it. Then again, it would be a shame if the courts took away your house and all of your possessions, wouldn't it?" That sure sounds like extortion to me.
