Comments on: RIAA to Brittany Kruger: Pay now.

A huge number of these cases end up defaulting because people follow that same strategy because people think it will go away if they ignore it. If you do nothing, there is a 100% chance you'll have a default judgment rendered against you. The RIAA loves those cases. You must fight. If you can last through the interrogation and privacy invasion, get it to trial. The world's a lot less certain at that level because it's obvious the 1999 Copyright act wasn't meant to apply $750/$150,000 to non-commercial users and that the RIAA are abusing the statute with the interpretation one of their lawyers dreamed up. vb, that’s not how the legal system works.

Intercourse them. I would not hire a lawyer, I would not invest a cent into the "Corrupt Boy's Club" . I would not acknowledge them in the least. No lost sleep, No embarrassment, NO SHAME. NO CONCERN. You know what, 50-50 chance that they will just go away. 50% chance they will make you an example and get default judgements. Good for them. Now it's time for you to invest some cash. Hire a PR frim or Press Agent. Tell the world how these bastards took your house for a couple of lousy MP3s, go on Ofrah and Dr. Phool, tell everyone, expose the greedy leeches. Crumble their evil empire. Then write a book about the whole thing, make millions, go on book tour, give speeches at universities for top coin and live happily after. PLEASE, oh, Please, RIAA, come after me.......I downloaded thousands of songs. I even downloaded......dare I say it.....Metallica!

I do not think will change unless and until a provision is added to the copy right law covering computer file sharing. I have no way to guess what that would look like or when it will happen. but it is well to keep an ear to the gound all legal actions should be suspended until the precedent is established in the settlement of the Jamie Thomas issue. this cna only have one outcome however as the courts have consistently held that unless there is evidence of a transfer the is no violation.

Remember, it was over two years ago when her computer was originally hacked, and over a year and a half ago that the LaFace v. Does 1-5 suit was filed.
