These people are the biggest morons around currently. Like who the fuck sues a lawyer for doing his job. Baha, I hope they lose and get a counter suit which they have to pay the court fees because of a ridiculous case.

Never in history have I seen or read about an organisation so determined to make itself the most hated entity on the planet - truly breathtaking and worrying.

or the atomic bomb

dude, watch the language.

ivymike, neutron bomb is better as it kills the people & leaves the buildings for others to use.

Sooner or later, The RIAA (& the MPAA) will meet their match and LOSE.

I will be getting drunk when that day arrives.

RIAA: Oh no, we lost and cant destroy an innocent womans life! What can we do?
Sane person: Just forget about it.
RIAA: No, we must sue the lawyer its his fault we lost.
Sane person: Thats just insane, thats what lawyers do, they defend their clients.
RIAA: We must sue everyone! After the lawyer were going to sue the judge and jury too!

Every time i read about the idiotic things riaa/mpaa do i cant stop thinking about what kind of a person comes up with the shit they do? Is it a monkey with a typewriter just hitting random buttons and sometimes making words? Is it a longterm patient of a asylum? Is it a man that was dropped on his head as a baby and is so stupid he even got kicked out of preschool? I just cant imagine a person that would come up with ideas like "lets sue the lawyer for winning against us".

If we are lucky the judge will jail them for contempt of the court and for wasting his time on a frivilous lawsuit. I would also refer Media Sentry to the Attorney general's office ans suggest that the be prosecuted for playing cops without a license as required by the law.

dont know what kind of drugs the riaa boys are doing but i gotta get me some.lol

No you don't want any of their garbage. The record company's have been infested by a bunch of paranoid cokeheads since the 80's. Nose candy is expensive compared to most other drugs and the RIAA's victims must pay for their filthy drug habits...

Sound to me like they want to achieve the following:
a) scare off lawyers from defending people getting sued by the RIAA
b) recouperate the costs they made for the trial

That's not what they should be doing. They tried to sue people for illegal downloading but didn't have a strong enough case, lacking legally admissible proof. They should just leave it at that.

Actually it's much cleaner isn't it - doesn't damage anything except people.

---

just the immediate buildings get damaged, how much i don't know.

Nerve gas though, and stuff like that, biological warfare, doesn't do any damage to property, only humans and animals.

Makes sense i suppose, less of a clean up after a war, although it is totally off topic. :)

Well, at least this guy can defend himself. It won't cost him anything in legal fees.
On the other hand, the RIAA has to pay their own attorneys for a case they have no chance in hell of winning. Congratulations RIAA, you have found a new way to screw yourself. Way to go!

wow! i dunno what to day! this guy did his job just like the RIAA lawyers r doing! Maybe he can sue them for same thing after they are done!

Nuff Said

Welcome to America!

Why don't they sue the judge in that case? Or even better... Why don't they sue the Congress of the United States for not passing laws in their favor? Makes more sense to me.

The RIAA needs to be slapped down hard by the court system. The precedent has to be set once and for all letting them know that they can't bypass proper rules of evidentary procedure, and freely violate individual privacy, because the market is changing, their profits are down, and those dinosaurs are crying out to the heavens in effect, "We can't die! We've made such much money marketing ephemereal art that we refuse to accept that it's an obsolete 20th-century concept that doesn't work in the digital age."

Oh, and again, how much of these damages are trickling down the artists whose rights these lawsuits are alleged to protect...?

Howdy, DPensee, in answer to your question, none of the monies secured by this farce have gone to the artists this bunch claim to represent and whose interests they claim they are looking after. Instead, they have told the artists that there is NO MONEY as they had to pay their lawyer's fees. Now since we here all know just much of a lying sack of excrement this group is and has been shown to be, I wonder just how much longer this will go on BEFORE the artists themselves start suing this bunch for stealing what is rightfully theirs.

You can bet your bottom dollar that all monies secured by this farce have since made its way to the RIAA's offshore bank accounts so they can have the latest in cars, condos, cocaine and chicas of the evening. This whole thing is nothing more than a last ditch attempt by a dying industry to grab the brass ring that used to belong to them but is now out of reach and getting further and further away each day with the ongoing lawsuits brought by them and their illegal enforcement arm, Media Sentry.

I'm hoping Ray Beckerman sues these pathetically, moronic, POS for libel and slander, after all they've accused him of doing the very thing that they have from the beginning by saying, "the defendant, her family and her counsel engaged in a deliberate pattern of misconduct by providing false, misleading, and incomplete information as to the status of defendant’s Internet service in August 2004, who resided in defendant’s home during that time, the identity and location of witnesses with information about the case, and the existence and owner of the computer connected to defendant’s Internet account at the time of infringement. …Defendant’s misrepresentations caused plaintiffs and the court to waste substantial resources chasing empty leads and ultimately led to the destruction of critical evidence in this case."

This reads like the entire history of what and how they, the RIAA and MEDIA SENTRY, have operated since the very beginning.

ok I'm no lawyer, judge, or to be honest a smart person.
But this kinda seems like it would fall under the double jepordy clause thingy wouldn't it??
anywhos......
so now if this goes to court..............
lets say I get in a car wreck and go to sue the other driver at fault, for some reason I lose can I go and file suit against the lawyer that reprpesnted the person at fault.
I mean comon now this makes it so lawyers gotta worry about not only for their client but also fear that there will be a suit filed against them.......
Total and complete elephant mess, the type that you need a backhoe to clean-up, not a shovel.

Ok and how can you prove she got rid off evidence i am sorry to say this is why we have warrents that state they are allowed to take the persons computer did the riaa take the persons computer no they left it there.

So it is the Riaa's fault not the lawyer that saw what the riaa was doing and how it was screwing everyone.

And if media sentry is so great then please explain to me why they are still unlicensed???

I thought that if a bussiness was not licensed in the united states that the bussiness could face jail time or tax aduits so how lame is that

The RIAA is so full of BS that it is coming out of their ears.. this is way over the line.

Why doesn't the Supreme Court bring the RIAA to task for "Profiteering Through Litigation and Coercion"? The RIAA's new business model of extortion based on inferred intent by suing the very markets that support them for revenue will hasten the implosion of the music industry infrastructure they are so desperately trying to supplant.

This truly is a NEW LOW...even for the RIAA cockroaches.

The RIAA says Ray "has maintained an anti-recording industry blog during the course of this case and has consistently posted virtually every one of his baseless motions on his blog seeking to bolster his public relations campaign and embarrass plaintiffs. Such vexatious conduct demeans the integrity of these judicial proceedings and warrants this imposition of sanctions."

---

Basically they're saying that Ray is not entitled to an "Opinion" with that statement. I can see if he was posting about information that was deemed to be "Confidential" by the Courts or has been sealed or the info was sensitive to the outcome or prejudicial to potential jurors, but none of this is stated in the claim for sanctions or monetary damages.

What a Proverbial "Crock-0-Shite"!!!!
These idiots seriously need to be taken down a few notches and I hope the Courts will do just that with this frivolous & "VEXATIOUS" litigation, if I can use their own terms...oh...maybe the RIAA has the copyright on the word VEXATIOUS.

vexatious, vexatious, vexatious...there, sue me you useless teets, except I live in Canada...ha-ha.
