My question is, “what of the settlements?” Directv made well over 50,000 such settlements and the RIAA has made just as many if not more. Most of these are confidential and contents cannot be made public. In time though it will come out just what people were forced to sign. For instance, what if Directv or the RIAA committed some sort of crime and the defendant was made to sign stating they would not report that crime? What if someone is currently under a settlement where the RIAA or Directv made a mistake but the defendant was made to pay anyway? Of course where a mistake had been made the original court complaint would have been untruthful as only it could being a mistake? While people have a certain time to appeal, what of those are not permitted appeal because to do so would breech the confidential agreement. What is at stake here is an individuals constitutional right where they were a victim to report a crime. In some cases the right to protect there own property. Ten years from now, innocent person’s are still bound to a settlement which may continue to deny rights and liberties. I have a web site which targets just one such issue where these suits have not only ignored the defendant but other courts as well.

Does this mean that we can come back and retaliate against these corporate parasites at anytime?

Just asking.

Jon,

I think you should spell it : Vivendique Univers-sale. That mean nasty and dirty in French which I believe is perfectly appropriate.

For the nastiness this is the corporation who instigated the extortion operation against the US citizen. This is also the corporation who has been ripping off artists for so many years, and also bough sex from young naive burgeoning artists for promotion.

For the dirtiness we just have to report to the crappy lyrics carried by the screamers. . . Heu! I mean the singers they carry, and also the crappy porn movies for pederasts they dare to distribute around and that they call French art.

You are wrong on this one. almost all the labels member of the RIAA, BREIN, BPI, IFPI. . . . and so on and so forth belong to the same 4 labels or corporate parasites. Almost all. Visit http://www.riaaradar.com/ for more info.

These are the one under boycott and eventually extermination.

Almost none of the indies labels are members.

Marie Lindor you are my Hero!
