Thanks Ray that you now publish the RIAA stories yourself on Digg.<BR/>Saves others some time ;-)<BR/>But if I were you I would post future RIAA abusings, of the US courtsystem and the copyrightlaw as it was once intended, in the section "tech industry news".<BR/>IIRC so far only postings regarding your blog in that category made it in the thousands diggs :-)Alter_Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861406779872744163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15479871.post-1157839960954569382006-09-09T18:12:00.000-04:002006-09-09T18:12:00.000-04:00Strange!The RIAA sues someone because they claim t...Strange!<BR/>The RIAA sues someone because they claim the guy they sue has infringed their exclusive copyrights and they have the evidence to prove that.<BR/>Now this riaa lawyer woman tells the judge:<BR/>"<I>it is clear to Plaintiffs that discovery is needed</I> [...] <I>to obtain information regarding the<BR/>evidence of copyright infringement on Defendant’s computer hard drive, the use of Defendant’s<BR/>Internet account to infringe Plaintiffs’ copyrighted sound recordings, and Defendant’s<BR/>knowledge of and role in the infringing activity.</I>"<BR/><BR/>So basicly she is telling they do have no information what so ever regarding the claim! <BR/>All that they claim is that their "investigatiors" have recorded some IP addresses!<BR/><BR/>Who assures the courtsystem that these IP adresses are not just made up?!<BR/>And given the fact that millions of americans do fileshare they will have a hit in some cases when their "investigators" play lucky numbers with the 4 bags of tennisballs labeled from 0 to 255.<BR/>And because they have not more than this computerprogramm that draws random numbers they for example can not specify what an neutral expert should search for and want to snoop around uncontrolled on the harddisks of defendants!Alter_Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861406779872744163noreply@blogger.com
