[ga] RIAA Gets Nervous, Brings In Big Gun

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  Well it seems that the RIAA can't seem to avoide getting some
good folks dander up!  Has ICANN or the IPC gottent the
message yet?  I am sure many of us hope so.  It's time to
give the RIAA and the MPAA the old heave ho!

See:
 http://beckermanlegal.com/ NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "I guess
the RIAA is getting nervous about the ability of its 'national law firm'

(in charge of bringing 'ex parte' motions, securing default judgments,
and beating up grandmothers and children) to handle the

argument scheduled to be heard on Monday,
August 4th in Duluth, in

Capitol v. Thomas. So, at the eleventh hour,
it
http://recordingindustryvspeople.blogspot.com/2007/01/index-of-litigation-documents.html#Virgin_v_Thomas
has brought in one of its 'Big Guns' from Washington, D.C., a
lawyer who argues United States Supreme Court cases like MGM v. Grokster
to handle the argument. This is the case where

222,000 verdict was awarded for downloading 24 songs, but the judge
ultimately
http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/15/1742257&tid=123
realized that he had been misled by the RIAA in issuing his jury
instructions, and indicated he's probably going to order a new trial. 
But, not to worry. A group of
http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/06/21/0341239&tid=188
10 copyright law professors from 10 different law schools and
several other amici curiae (friends of the court) have
http://recordingindustryvspeople.blogspot.com/2008/06/amicus-curiae-briefs-filed-in-capitol-v.html
filed briefs now, so it is highly unlikely the judge will allow himself
to be misled again, no matter who the RIAA brings in as cannon fodder 
on Monday."
