LimeWire Sues RIAA for Antitrust Violations

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes to tell us that in a recent court battle, Arista v. LimeWire, LimeWire has filed counterclaims against the RIAA for 'antitrust violations, consumer fraud, and other misconduct.' From the article: "LimeWire alleged that the RIAA's 'goal was simple: to destroy any online music distribution service they did not own or control, or force such services to do business with them on exclusive and/or other anticompetitive terms so as to limit and ultimately control the distribution and pricing of digital music, all to the detriment of consumers.'"

Wow.. hannitian argument tactics.. make a biiig long thread.. than try to exaggerate or invent things I supposedly said.

You haven't backed down from your initial comment that employees of the RIAA should be murdered.

I said nothing of the kind.. I specifically said that heiristocracy who tried this crap were beheaded, and implied that perhaps this will be the only final resolution to this conflict, considering how tightly they have gripped our legislators and judges, and the fact that the same corporate owners own the major media outlets.
That said.. if any implication was made, it was the neutralization of the people coordinating the attacks on our civil liberties, consumer and property rights at the top. I would put this at at most 7 people.. the employees of the RIAA are very much like the employees of munitions plants.. theyre cogs in the machine.. theyre not the ones pulling the levers at the top.

In fact, you have tried to pass it off as a joke,

No.. i tried to lighten your sour mood with a tounge and cheek denial spiced with a star wars reference.. and possibly point out to the readership that i'm not malevolently scheming to the end of assassination myself?.. subtlety is not your strong suit is it?

then you began with the ad hominem attacks against me,
Nope.. I simply said you couldnt spot a joke if it nailed you in the eyeball at 60 miles an hour.. that's different than calling you dumb.. I myself don't laugh at much...you need to calm down dude.

perhaps it is hypocracy..

Not cowardice though.

The complexity of life exprience is bound to generate some hyporacy.. it's the human condition. Minimizing that is what determines your worth, but it can never be eliminated..

I'm sure if I probed you long enough I could find hypocracy too..

Never mind, I saw from your other post that you're just a troll.

If I had mod points i'd mod myself down to a troll. You can mod this, -1 appologetic.

really now.. that's uncalled for.

Trolls say what they say with the express purpose of provoking people to anger.

I say what I say because I believe it needs to be said, no matter how unpopular it may be.

I admit I at times get zealous and even spring into hyperbole. You can think what you want of the points I try to put across, but I post to put an idea across and spark meaningful conversation (o.k... possibly debate, but with intent to expand points of view, not with malice)
