RIAA Not Done With Jesse Jordan

digime writes "In a recent Slashdot article it was reported that 19-year-old college student Jesse Jordan gave up his life savings to the RIAA for running a campus search engine. He has recovered over 83% of his savings lost to the RIAA, and his search engine is back up. "The RIAA started yelling and tried to rescind my order of dismissal after they signed it because of comments that I made on CNN.", Jordan says on his site. "A very well-known top lawyer at the RIAA, while making threats of further legal actions, referred to himself as a 'dentist' that I would not want to 'have another visit with'"

violating copyright ok now?

[Milikki]

Has anyone considered that violating copyright is a crime, and that criminals deserve the punishment they earn by comitting crimes?

Really now, how can everyone bitch about M$ being this big organization that violates law and does whatever it wants, then turns right around and violates laws themselves and says "its my constitutional right" or "music wants to be free".

C'mon people, lets get consistant out there!

Strikes me that this must be pretty alpha; if 11 is his max load, it wouldn't even be an effective uni intranet search engine.

Hmm.

Why don't we march on the RIAA bastids and tear their buildings and offices apart brick by brick, and let their blood run in the streets.

I wonder. In a good sized school, if the SE is popular, he could easily be getting the ~150 requests that slashdotted it. I don't know much about stats on college search engine use tho, so you're probably right.:-)

Whoever modded me flamebait obviously didn't understand what I was trying to say, and thought I was trying to put this guy down (I contributed to his fund, damn you, idiot moderator). Said moderator can fuck off. THAT'S flamebait.
