RIAA loses another p2p case
p2pnet.net News:- The Big Four Organized Music cartel’s RIAA tried to extort Oklahoma’s Tallie Stubbs into ’settling’ in another sue ‘em all case.
But she and her lawyer, Marilyn Barringer-Thomson, joined the fast-growing ranks of people who’ve told the RIAA (Recording Industry Association America), owned by Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG, to poke their lawsuits where they sun doesn’t shine, forcing the so-called ‘trade’ unit to once again cave in.
“So these RIAA (well known and respected record companies) want their case dropped without prejudice and at the same time asking the judge to drop the counterclaim WITH prejudice,” posts Alter_Fritz on Recording Industry vs The People.
“Let’s hope the judge does not allow this awful RIAA tactic! And rules that Ms. Stubbs is the prevailing party with regards to copyright law and that Ms. Stubbs will get her attorney fees paid by the RIAA.
“Otherwise those (well known and respected record companies) will ‘play’ this big money vs. average people extortion business for decades!
“It must be possible to fight against them and not accept their 3750$ extortion money if you are not guilty but can’t afford a regular lawsuit where THEY must prove your wrongdoing!”
=================
UPDATE @ 1:44 pm
A reader points out here, Recording Industry vs The People has updated the post to say:
In its initial motion it had said it was moving "without prejudice" in several places, but in its final "ad damnum" clause asked the judge to dismiss "with prejudice".
"Without prejudice" means they could sue again at a later time for the same thing.
"With prejudice" means they could not sue again for the same thing, and that the case is totally closed.
So stay tuned.

Hi Jon,
Ray has an update on that!
Oviously the Riaa lawyer in this case itself does not know what he wants regarding with or without prejudice!
But maybe this “error” in his letter was just caused because RIAA lost the oversight what they write to whom in their mass spamigation campaign?

Nobody should give money to these parasites and their lawers! Resist! Never settle never compromise and never pay anything regardless of the court decision! Declare bankrupty if you have too. A BK chapter 7 is not the end of the world!
The only thing you have to fear is fear itself!
And of course don’t buy anthing from them: NO CD, NO DVD, No download, No itune crap!
Resist!
