P2P Defendant Destroys Evidence, Case Defaults

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the wrong-ways dept.

neoflexycurrent writes "A court in Texas has thrown the book at a defendant accused by the RIAA of file sharing. The court determined that she had intentionally wiped her hard drive clean, so it entered the most severe sanction possible — default judgment against her. The record companies now just have to ask the court how much they want in damages."

    showing "blatant contempt" for the court

    In this day and age I fail to see how anyone can have anything but contempt for our legal system.

    Nice ad hominem examples there. It doesn't really have the same "impact" without the emotionally charged subject matter. Try again, without being such a knucklehead.

    There are so many shelves full of US law on the books, that even a legal professional can only specialize in a tiny portion of it. I guarrantee you that everyone on slashdot has unknowingly (or maybe even knowingly) committed enough crimes to put us away for many years. Anyone that wants to get you just needs some legal research and enough access to power/money to bring a case against you.
