” Notice this only happens in the american legal system. Why is that exactly? Does the system unfairly predudice the defendent in civil cases? ”

Short answer, Yes.

Longer answer …

The burden of proof in Civil cases is much lower than in criminal cases, so it is easier to win with
less ( in the cases of the RIAA .. no ) evidence, just the determination of ‘more likely than not ” .
Secondly, the american legal system is VERY biased towards the well heeled , as they are usually the
only ones who can hire a good lawyer, a flaw that has been very succesfully employed by MANY large
corporate entities in the US, NOT just the Recording Industry.

It is very easy for them to bleed a small victim dry.

Notice this only happens in the american legal system. Why is that exactly? Does the system unfairly predudice the defendent in civil cases? I know that in my country (england), cases like this would simply be thrown out and disallowed in the future.

File Sharing of Blue-Ray content began with the sale of the first disc.

There are now close to a dozen various applications that will rip blue ray now, and it was touted to last a decade, and it was hacked in days.

shhh, dont tell the MAFIAA.
