That she needs to appeal to the wider community to fund the case seems reasonable and I am very happy to send her 30 quid or so as a small donation to someone with the gumption to stick up for themselves.

I don’t know what her chances of success are but I wish her the best of luck and I’m sure she’ll get plenty of technical assistance.

Wookey

she in fact isn’t asking for any money. Jason and Jon did this out of their own time and pockets to set up the site. so what even if she was asking for money? I’d give it (and did). she’s some $24,000 in the hole! She said this on national television, in the presence of her then-lawyer, Ray Beckerman, so i doubt she’s lying. If you are still skeptical about this whole operation, I feel truly sorry for you. You’d probably do what John Goodman did in The Big Lebowski and throw a crippled man out of his wheelchair to see if he walks.

He got 60 days in prison.

If any of you skeptics need further proof, you can go down to this address and have a look around, although security won’t let you upstairs. The office is a few blocks from Grand Central Terminal. Ray’s blog has him and Ty standing in front of their building.

Patti is a real person. So is Ray. They’ve both appeard on national TV to speak about the case. Crawl out from under your rocks.

It’s amateurish because, guess what!, it is! I’m sorry if it doesn’t meet your standards of glossiness and professionalism. This is a grass roots, guerilla movement, and Jon doesn’t have the money to pay for advertising. I thought the AOL account was phishy too when I sent my $5, but it’s in fact Patti’s email. (shows you what kind of noob she is. she’s got an AOL account!).

Let’s also not forget the otehr people who are getting sued. Patti’s just the one who’s getting the most attention. There’s 13 (maybe 14 now) year old Brittany Chan who has to stand in court by herself with an ad litem guardian (I’m not sure what that is) appointed by the court. A 13 year old girl for Christ’s sake! The RIAA should be strung up and shot for exposing a minor to this kind of trauma. What country do we live in? If she dropped a bowling ball off an overpass and killed a driver, yes, take her to court and throw her ass in jail. She downloaded a couple of songs! She’s 13..

Then they’re Tanya Andersen in Oregon, a single mom who’s disabled and living on social security. Someone really out to help her out too.

Yes, the RIAA is absolutely right to go after people who profit from songs, but the way they are doing it is disgusting and unethical. These people are not the “pirates” the RIAA wants us to believe they are. But keep it up, RIAA. You already look like assholes, and most people won’t buy something from an asshole.

Perhaps the money that is raised can be used to pay the damages award to the RIAA.

And no fuckwits, I don't work for the RIAA or any media company - I am just a concerned individual. I don't agree with these lawsuits one bit. It is tragic what is unfolding before our eyes....]]

You get the picture, do you? Right, you can go put your lips back on the RIAA’s ass, now that you’ve stopped talking/typing bullshit. No one is egging her on. Patti undertook the decision to fight her case on principle, as she has said in the interviews on NBC and ABC.

Paying damages to the RIAA? Haha! The RIAA isn’t getting another cent from me, you corporate shill. I’m not buying another CD from member companies until the RIAA stops this bullshit and issues a formal apology. You think I don’t matter? You’re wrong. I used to buy hundreds of dollars of CD’s every year, and there are thousands of people like me, and the number of dissatisfied and angry customers is growing every day. So, go crawl back up Carey Sherman’s ass where you came from. In case, it’s you writing, Carey, go crawl back up your own ass.

Upon closer inspection I too noticed the aol email address and decided that I was unable to verify whether my donation would actually go to Patti.

Even now all I have is your word that (all) the money is going to her. There has been no statement from her endorsing or indeed even aknowledging the fight goliath campaign.

I invite you to prove my assumptions wrong but frankly, I dont know how you would go about it. A public statement from Patti would be a start. A more trackable email address for the paypal fund would go a long way too. I mean … what the hell were you thinking using an AOL address in there. It seriously lacks legitamacy.

It sure is. It will determine if RIAA and others like it and hired gun lawyers and big brother government can turn the courts against innocent children (and their parents) whose only crime is loving music and doing what everyone else is doing with computers, using the SAVE feature for the intended purpose.

1. The Messiah returns.

2. Depite the skewed election system, the people in open defiance of the democrat-republican party elect members of alternative parties such as the Libertarian Party, Constitution Party, or any other alternative party.

3. At least ten percent of the population begin an uprising against those in the government that continue to foster corruption and abuse of power. (Every now and again, this happens such as the case of Marvin Heemeyer of Granby, Colorado – this was a one man uprising).

A paedophile in Vermont got 90 days for repeatedly raping a 7 years old girl, Michael Jackson walked away scott free, and so did O.J. Cam a movie and get 17 years. Rape a helpless kid, get three months. This make me wonder if Judge Edward Chashman is a closet paedophile, or if any of his relatives is a paedophile. I wonder if he was offered a bribe or was blackmailed. Whatever the cause, this guy needs to be removed from the bench by WHATEVER means it takes.

The closest address and phone number matching is listed Edward J Cashman – (802) 872-0615 – 29 Lamoille St, Essex Junction, VT 05452
(This may be the judge’s address, and then again, it may not be)

Unfortunately, under the democrat-republican “leadership,” it is the money that talks – not right and wrong. While I plan to contribute, I really believe that the RIAA and MPAA will win this case, because the judges are appointed by democrat-republicans. I do believe that one day, the **AA’s will sue the wrong person and that person will do something very drastic to the studios such as going Heemeyer (Marvin Heemeyer, Granby, Colorado), going postal, or even going McVeigh. Even if I believe that copyright infringers should be sued, I think that Patti should be found innocent simply because she did not download the crap (RIAA “music”).

Perhaps the money that is raised can be used to pay the damages award to the RIAA.

“She is not a cause for p2p”
Correct Statment: She fights for the cause of justice and truth

“She is getting screwed.”
Correct Statment: The IRAA is trying to screw her into paying thousand in settlement, and you encourage her to let them.

“Disgraceful!”… yes you are!
