Regardless of her guilt or innocence in this matter, I am happy that
ReplyDelete1) Judge Davis actually requires proof that these songs were downloaded.
2) Ms. Thomas is costing these [expletive deleted] jerks more money than they could ever hope to recover from her.
3) This trial will hopefully bring to light some of the stuff that the RIAA and MediaSentry have tried for so long to keep hidden from scrutiny.
I wouldn't put it past these jerks to try and pull a fast one again, but hopefully Judge Davis is wise to their tricks.
I do feel for the hassle and aggravation that she is going through on this, but I believe that this will serve every defendant that is fighting back.
lets hope her counsel acts this time really as her counsel!
ReplyDeletedemanding real evidence of her wrongdoing! (i.e. not stipulate to the introduction of doctored screenshots as evidence) and cross examine the so called expert Dr. Jacobson should this Daubert failure guy be allowed to testify after all!
Alter_Fritz:
ReplyDeleteIs her counsel getting paid? No? So we can't expect too much.
