[oohms]

I find it disgusting that tha RIAA do everything they can to get away from paying the defendant's legal fees when they lose..


The RIAA subsequently sued two of her children, Michelle and Robert, who were 15 and 11 years old when the alleged infringement took place.

wtf.. :stick:

The RIAA is right up there with satan and "ULPKT" (United League of Puppy and Kitten Torturers) on the list of evil's in this world.

Just wait til Ouchy comes in and claims 'that 11 year old had it coming!'

Yeeesss!!! Another defeat for the RIAA.

Now every time I even think of buying a piece of music, I think of the RIAA, and the thought is quickly replaced with nausea.

"Is that a subpoena in your pocket or are you just happy to sue me?"

U.S tort law really needs to be reformed. Here in Canada, you have to pay the defendant's attorney fees if you're defeated. No "with prejudice" needed.
You (the plaintiff) lose, you pay your attorney fees and the defendants' fees.
I'd imagine such a system in the U.S. would drastically drop the amount of frivolous lawsuits that we see all the time.

qft, there are way to many lawsuits with no substance backing them

could take up a human rights violation on this prejudice/no prejudice thing maybe.
