As far as the press is concerned, look at who owns the press. That’s right the same media moguls who own interests in Time Warner, Disney, Sony, and other members of the media cartel. This is one of the many reasons why corporate press releases is considered unquestionably as news. The only reason why Sony’s crimes were even reported by the LameScream media is because people were already talking about it in the blogs and eventually word would have gotten out in the streets. The “news” organizations have to maintain some credibility if they want to influence the minds of the sheeple.

As for the Republican-Democratic Partie, we know where their campaign contributions come from. Talking heads from each faction rail against each other in the LameScream Press and buddy up to each other at their fancy cocktail parties. They have been quite excellent in fooling most of the voting public into believing that there is effective difference between the factions. There is not!!!

Labor unions are known for their corruption. Very few are nothing but mouthpieces for their corporate managers and the part of the political party that they support. The labor union is an efficient way to make workers support a political faction (via union dues) in order to be allowed to work at a company. There are a few exceptions, though.

Ralph Nader is a member of another political party called the reform party. Since he is not a member of the LameScream political Partie, he does not get a chance to appear in the cartel-controlled LameScream media. While I do not agree with many of his policies, I do wish that he could be heard. I believe the same for candidates for ALL of the political parties.

As for the courts, they are ruled by lawyers call judges. Judges rule for those who can speak the best legalese. Most care nothing about the rule of law. They care about how other judges have ruled in the past (case law). The best hope for the people being sued is for them to have a jury trial. There might be a chance that enough jurors will
have a clue as how things are really supposed to work.

I’m afraid, Rafael, that all of the mechanisms that have been establiched to protect we the people have been thoroughly currupted by those with the most money. It is going to take a grass roots uprising against the criminal organizations which run our country. Hopefully, this grass roots rebellion will begin next election time and hopefully it can be accomplished at the ballot box rather than elsewhere.

How can anyone claim infringement by another if the victim isn’t capable of performing infringement? Yet if falsely accused, what out does the victim have? Pay the settlement, even though not guilty merely because it is cheaper than attempting to clear one’s name?

What recourse does the victim have? The Settlement Center doesn’t want to hear anything but when the money is coming. They are a collection agency in the worse of terms in what that means. They have been most carefully instructed that guilt or innocence has no bearing in their duties to wring the victim dry of funds. (Of course if you go this route there is no way to pay the money without signing a rider that admits guilt, whether you are or are not guilty.) Fighting the RIAA is guarenteed to be long and drawn out so that maximum financial pain is achieved on the victim. Merely paying the court costs of the case won’t restore the victims’ financial health to the levels before the introduction of the terror campaign into their lives. The victim has no where to turn; certainly if falsely accused.

In criminal cases at least there is a prehearing of sorts to determine if there is enough evidence to continue. No such protection exists for the victim in civil case of infringement. With the latest rulings of court judges it doesn’t look like the victim has a chance to prove innocence short of losing what little they have. What a sad state for “justice” to exist in, where only the powerful that can readily send in a row of lawyers and where the “accused infringer” can only push forward with a single representive due to financial constraints. It doesn’t sound like justice is to be served for the lowly and that’s a sad state of affairs.

Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

And where are the religious groups, the labor unions, Consumer Reports, Ralph Nader, the politival partie (are they not supposed to support the people), the press. Answer: Nowhere to be see.

I have this on my web page:

Said a Nazi era German:
One day they took away my neighbor to the concentration camp. Because of fear, I said nothing. Another day another neighbor was also taken away. Again, I said nothing. Then I was taken away. No one said anything. Then they took all my neighbors away.

Here, the judge said nothing, protected the criminals and punished the victims.

Puertorican judge Angel Hermida:
“I dare not predict what will happen in federal court because in federal court anything can happen…”.
