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."

  2. The Anwser is the ACLU by John+Seminal · · Score: 0, Troll
    It is time for the ACLU to do something helpful to the people, why not defend the people the RIAA goes after? It is a better group to defend than homosexuals or blacks. Why not help EVERYONE?

    People are going to mark this as a troll. But it seems like every small group has extra rights. The majority meanwhile is getting sued by these small pest groups. Aeithists sue to not have the pledge said in school because of "In God we trust". Muslims sue schools because of christmas plays. Homosexuals sue to get married, which is an act under GOD and not man. Blacks want reparations. And the RIAA wants to go after children who share. The world is going to hell in a handbasket. And at the same time, any American who likes France is a traitor.

    Did I order French Fries? I meant Freedom Fries. I hope you did not get that on tape.

    Lets hope that the RIAA starts loosing. Of course, that might be worse for the consumer, as the RIAA will go back to congress asking for more laws.

    Either way we loose.

    I guess the solution is closed networks where people are invited by trusted friends. Anyone know of any?? LOL

    Ah you Americans always fun to watch... I don't know what the ACLU is, but surely blacks and homosexuals deserve representation...? What about black homosexuals being sued by the RIAA, the way you talk sounds like you'd prefer them not to be represented... I digress.... and btw, they are CHIPS, we invented them y'know, and the things you call chips, are CRISPS... of course refer you to

    Anyway I don't know what you have against blacks, they built your country, and as for homosexuals, they usually liven up the party...

    Now if this is a troll, then surely the parent should be made a troll for inciting one...

    Just make certain, that if you decide to enter my premises, uninvited, that you have all your affairs in order.

    You won't be leaving.

    Where I live, if someone enters your premises uninvited, you have the right to bar their entry.

    If they insist on entering regardless, then you may do anything you would like to prevent them.

    If they make it past the threshhold, then yes, you can (and several have) killed the intruder, with no worries about the law.

    They stop in, see the intruder's corpse in your house, ask a few questions, get a meat wagon, and that's it. All done.
