Britanny vs RIAA hearing date
p2p news / p2pnet: Brittany Chan was the 13-year-old schoolgirl the Big Four Organized Music gang went after for alleged file sharing.
OM - Sony BMG, Vivendi Universal, Warner Music and EMI - did their best to use their RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) get at Britanny, who’s now 14, through her mother, Candy.
They fell on their faces with that one so they tried again, this time using Matthew E. Krichbaum of Ann Arbour to demand that the US District Court of the Eastern District of Michigan name a guardian so they could try to nail her by herself.
A hearing has been slated for January 5 to decide whether or not the RIAA will get away with its motion for the appointment of a guardian ad litem "to protect the interests of the defendant," says Recording Industry vs The People.

Yet another sick example of just how far the RIAA and the cartels will go to try and protect product.
It is my humble hope this backfires in their faces, just as the Sony rootkit did. Nothing would make me happier than seeing them shown for just the gangesters and muggers this sort of methods display.
Best wishes to Britanny in the upcoming hardships.

This is disgraceful that they can take a 14 year old girl to court. I hope the RIAA and it’s employees die a slow painfull death, preferbly due to cancer.

Britanny Chan should show up in court carrying a large lolipop and give it to the lawyers. “Taking candy from babies” Even the MSM is smart enough to understand that, and a few or them may actually get it. Unless they continue to do their “Reporting by press release” which will have her as trying to bribe the lawyers, influence the judge and being drunk in public.
