RIAA Suit Rejected With Prejudice

yfarren writes "According to cdfreaks.com the RIAA has lost the case against the mother of a 13 year old girl accused of file-sharing violations." From the article: "The case was dismissed with prejudice, which prevents the case from being advanced against the defendant. Finally, the RIAA tried asking the Judge to amend the judgment in order to allow them to sue the child through a Guardian Ad Litem. However the court denied [the] RIAA's request."

  1. Don't start into this filesharing = stealing crap. by plasmacutter · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If i steal something from a store that store loses an item of value. If i take pictures of your car and create a decently accurate replica you still have your car, and it's perfectly legal. Enough with that old straw man, he wasn't an accurate argument in the first place, and it's time he was cremated.

    According to the RIAA, if a child borrows a book from a library, we should execute them.

    I'm not a parent. I get flamed and labeled troll when I attempt to offer parental advice, so I won't. Let me just say it is my belief that: parenting is a priviledge and not a right, people should not procreate until they can afford their offspring and the responsibilities procreation requires, and our government enables the idea of single parenthood in far more people than can likely bear the added responsibilities created by not marrying before rearing a child.

    It's a good thing you're not a parent, because with such neanderthalian views about parenting, you'd soon be charged with child abuse (fortunately, there are -still- "liberals" left in position of power, such as child welfare enforcement).

    P.S. reproduction is not a privilege, but the only attribute and final destiny of everything that is called "life" (which you obviously don't have).
  4. How did ENRON (ENCON) get away with it? by cheekyboy · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    How the Hell does Ronny (Bushes mate) get away with enron stealing billions from hard earning folk?

    Maybe the best way to 'cheat debts' is to setup a corporate, and have it fund everything for you, then when it dies
    you are free. Though cant be a director of a company again.

    Or just get a dual national passport and leave USAofCriminalA to Europe and live your free happy life in freedom there.
