There’s a big difference.

a) The RIAA blantantly distort and misrepresent fact(s), Beckerman makes every attempt to present factual information.
b) Corporate greed vs Consumer rights.
c) RIAA & hacks care very little for due process, Beckerman’s defends due process.
d) The powerful with vast resources vs those with limited or without.

I could go on, but you get the idea, it’s not rocket science.

In this day and age when corporations are bending and manipulating laws & lawmakers to their advantage, it’s reassuring to know there is Beckerman and others like him who are compassionate enough to care.

Yellow journalism? Read the the PR (mis)statements the RIAA put out and make note of the references they make about their own costumers (thieves, pirates, hard core criminals).

Beckerman follows his conscience.

As far as I’m concerned, the lower level RIAA people are well-trained lawyers and PR hacks who could probably easily find employment somewhere else.

Sherman and Bainwol, though, seem to really relish their jobs

The R.I.A.A. attorneys are only people who are being paid to do their jobs and in that respect are no different from Ray Beckerman.
