RIAA Mischaracterizes Letter Received From AOL

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "In Elektra v. Schwartz, an RIAA case against a Queens woman with Multiple Sclerosis who indicates that she had never even heard of file sharing until the RIAA came knocking on her door, the judge held that Ms. Schwartz's summary judgment request for dismissal was premature because the RIAA said it had a letter from AOL 'confirm[ing] that defendant owned an internet access account through which copyrighted sound recordings were downloaded and distributed.' When her lawyers got a copy of the actual AOL letter they saw that it had no such statement in it, and asked the judge to reconsider."

      Great comment. I'm not sure if that was written by Jack Kerouac or a dexterous great ape.

    Dude, "&&||"? || already works as what most people would think of as "and/or". ^ is exclusive or (XOR) and it's what most people think of as "or" (one or the other but not both).

    Of course, || is a short-circuit operator. It will try the first condition, and if it succeeds, immediately result in true, since no matter the result of the second condition the result will be true. You probably wanted "|" which will try both and return true if one or both operands succeed.

    If you're going to geek out and try "&&||" get the semantics right. :-P
