Mothers Taking the Fight to the RIAA

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the more-should-follow-this-example dept.

An anonymous reader writes "p2pnet is reporting that two more single mothers are refusing to be victimized by the RIAA. Patricia Santagelo was one of the first to stand up and fight the lawsuits, which some say resemble protection racket schemes. Now Dawnell Leadbetter of Seattle and Tanya Andersen of Oregon have decided to follow suit and stand up against the recording industry behemoth. From the article: 'Don't let your fear of these massive companies allow you to deny your belief in your own innocence. Paying these settlements is an admission of guilt. If you're not guilty of violating the law, don't pay.'"

    I share 9500 songs, and 200+ movies and more than 500 GB of software daily on a private hub.
    Yet the RIAA, BSA and MPAA have never come after me. They only go after those that are obviously illiterate with computers, that way they know these people can be scammed. I dare them to try and sue me, they wouldn't get through step one.

    The knife was sharp enough to carve off the flesh someone's body. It was the knife manufacturer's faul that I put the knife on the dashboard, and when the car hit a bump it jumped down and severed my penis. We are talking about a knife sharp enough to cut into meat.
