New RIAA charge: Flouting with Intent
p2pnet news view P2P | RIAA:- Vivendi Universal, EMI, Warner Music and Sony Music`s RIAA has a new spurious charge for Boston doctoral student Joel Tenenbaum, p2pnet posted recently »»»
- Using Twitter in a manner likely to encourage people not to take RIAA bullshit seriously.
But it’s worse, far worse, than that, says RIAA spinster Cara Duckworth.
Twittering with Aforethought, perhaps?
Nope.
Its Flouting the Letter and the Spirit of the Ruling Against Him.
“The RIAA argue that Tenenbaum promoted the torrent and other illegal downloading activity, in violation of the ruling against him, with a post on a Twitter account devoted to his legal case called JoelFightsBack,” says Harvard University’s The Crimson.
But Duckworth said Tenenbaum`s illegal activity, “goes beyond the Twitter post,” Elias J. Groll, going on:
“Duckworth said Tenenbaum has flouted the letter and the spirit of the ruling against him by allowing links to file-sharing web-sites to be posted on his web-site, repeatedly arguing for the legality of file-sharing in interviews, and by keeping illegal files on his computer after being convicted.”
Oh! The Horror!

So if they are right, the spirit of the ruling is thus infringing on the freedom of speech and therefore is as good as toilet paper, just like the DMCA is.

It’s funny how the RIAA is now just realizing that lawsuit rulings don’t mean the end.
