Judge denies Lindor HD request
p2pnet.net News:- It seems it’s acceptable for the Big Four Organized Music cartel’s RIAA to fail to honour commitments made by its lawyers.
Home health aide Marie Lindor illegally distributed copyrighted music online, claim Warmer Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG.
Their RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) demanded access to her hard drive in a bid to find incriminating evidence.
A systems professional was named to make the search and, says her lawyer, Ray Beckerman, “On September 12th I told plaintiffs’ counsel I wanted to schedule the deposition of the hard drive expert. He responded that it would make sense to wait for the report and that the report would be ready in 30 days.”
But the report failed to arrive as promised and consequently, “We respectfully request an order dismissing the complaint herein, based on plaintiffs` cavalier disregard of their discovery obligations throughout this proceeding,” Beckerman told Levy at the end of October.
Lindor’s motion to dismiss the complaint based on the RIAA’s failure to deliver the hard drive analysis was, however, denied by Levy, who also told lawyers on both sides to, “exercise civility in their dealings with each other …. and restraint in seeking relief from the Court,” says Beckerman’s Recording Industry vs The People.

Its all clear. Wen the little guy is late, he gets whacked. When the big guy is late, nothing happens. Nothing new here. The problem is the bar association… a bunch of sleepers. When they get together they never talk about the bad judges and lawyers and how to rid the sytem of them. Until they start doig that, the lawyers are part of the problem. It does them (the lawyers) no good fr their reputation their explaining to their clients how arbitrary, biased and corrupt judges and opposing lawyers are (as lawyers seem to always be doing) but then do nothing about the problem at the bar.
Maybe they think the bar is for drining only.

Innocent people targeted by these thugs will never forget. Not forgotten either is that the American Government stood by while these thugs excepted money from people they knew to be innocent. These corporations never had to right to make up a story and use the court to asssist in the taking away of the Americaqn Dream. It is time that they have evidence of the person commiting an offense or be held responsible for the fraudulant court filing.

I’d like to see happen to all of the corrupt juges, lawyers, and politicians who screw at the stroke of a pen, the same thing that has happened to Saddam Hussein. I like to see that happen before the same types of atrocities end up happening here.

If that judge bent over backwards any further for the RIAA he would be break dancing. I don’t think it is “uncivil” of an attorney to request a dismissal when the other side is being deliberately obstructive. Not that he will get anyware, but Mr. Beckerman’s next move should be to request a delay in the next court date corresponding to when the report arrives, giving Mr. Beckerman a reasonable amount of time to review it.
