Record Labels Sue Napster's VC

Do not start at rats to nod.
From the same page I quoted before:
Liebeck, who also underwent debridement treatments, sought to settle her claim for $20,000, but McDonalds refused.
$20,000 is *not* excessive for hospital bills. If you think it is, obviously you haven't looked at your bills lately. Good god, I had a CAT-scan last week that cost $2,500 by itself.
Any coffee that could be described by a reasonable person as hot coffee Will burn the hell out of you.
Did you even read the page? Again, quoting:
... coffee served at home is
generally 135 to 140 degrees. ... Plaintiffs' expert, a scholar in thermodynamics applied to human skin
burns, testified that liquids, at 180 degrees, will cause a full
thickness burn to human skin in two to seven seconds. Other testimony
showed that as the temperature decreases toward 155 degrees, the extent
of the burn relative to that temperature decreases exponentially. Thus,
if Liebeck's spill had involved coffee at 155 degrees, the liquid would
have cooled and given her time to avoid a serious burn.
I don't get fucking third-degree burns from spilling coffee from home on myself.
I am claiming she was an opprunistic, money grubbing, self-centered, ego-centric, bitch.
Really? Do you know her? Or do you just prefer to libel innocent people who get hurt by corporations?
I'm a lawyer, but not yours. I wouldn't represent someone who thinks taking legal advice from Slashdot is a good idea.
