Mom, and Now Judge, Stand Up to RIAA

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the won't-back-down dept.

Nom du Keyboard writes "First there was the mother, Patricia Santangelo, who has refused to roll-over to RIAA demands to pay their extortion fee because they claim to have identified her IP address as involved in Kazaa file sharing. Now Judge McMahon doesn't seem to be letting the RIAA have it all their way either in this case. Godwin's Law summarizes the rebuke of Judge McMahon to the RIAA lawyer now that a court case has been filed. A transcript of the entire court appearance is also available."

                    1 MR. MASCHIO: That's okay. We would just like -- we
                    2 think it's appropriate for her to say, yes, I did this or, no,
                    3 I did not do this under oath.
                    4 The other thing is that --
                    5 THE COURT: First of all, you didn't file a verified
                    6 complaint, and she doesn't have to file a verified answer. So
                    7 she doesn't have to do anything under oath.
                    8 MR. MASCHIO: Well, okay.
