Teen Accuses Record Companies of Collusion
evilned1 writes "A 16-year-old boy being sued by five record companies accusing him of online music piracy, accused the recording industry on Tuesday of violating antitrust laws, conspiring to defraud the courts and making extortionate threats."
Whatever. Fine give the kid money. Like I give a rats ass. I was just saying, if you feel charitable there are MUCH BETTER CAUSES to donate to.
Someday, I'll have a real sig.
Oh wait.. Now I _do_ understand it..
I hope the kid wins. But he is trying to bring truth into the court room. Usually courts don't like truth very much.
Save the middle managers!

I'll consider donating to the ACLU when they stop paying to defend terrorists. I'm not having my money spent on that shit.
Back on topic, that kid is in a pretty good situation already. He gets the notoriety for "sticking it to the man" and even if he loses, so what? What can they collect from a 16 year old kid? No judge is going to support garnishing his wages by the time he's 25 and finally making real money.
I'll support the ACLU as soon as they actually defend the entire BoR, until then they're just a bunch of fucking poseurs.
ah right, I forgot our laws applied to people captured in war. In WWII did the soldiers decide they weren't going to fire at the enemy combatants because "they hadn't been proven guilty in front of a jury of their peers?" No, they shot at them, and if they captured them, they were sent to POW camps, where they were held as guilty until after the war (or they were traded). You don't try people in war like that, it just doesn't make sense, as all of your time would be spent on the obvious.
The people at gitmo are so unlikely to be innocent it's not even a question. These are the prisoners who demand TVs during the world cup, than destroyed them during commercials. These are people who will do anything to kill the western way. I imagine the odds of one of them being innocent is much LESS than the odds that any given person in american prisons is innocent. But all these big hot shot lawyers are clamoring to defend them. It's pure publicity on their part, they don't care about guilt or innocence, in fact, they want guilty parties to go free. if these lawyers cared about justice, they'd donate their time to help cases where people were legitimately screwed by the justice system. Instead, they go after feel good cases for people who would kill them (their own lawyers) if they could because they're part of the "great satan".

Why don't you ask the people that have actually been there? I've had friends who have been translators at Gitmo. I've been there as a communications support technician. The so-called torture tactics that the media makes up are bullshit. The people get "tortured" because they toss their urine and feces on the guards and refuse to eat. The guards and the people down there just trying to do their jobs, but they are the ones being "tortured." The next time you see a person enlisted in the United States military, thank them, because they don't have the option to not be there. Also, most of these people are actually guilty. You just don't walk into a random town and grab people of the streets and mail them to Cuba. How do you think these people ended up there? These are people that were shooting at us. They were shitty shots and were captured. It's their own fault they are there.
The next time you look at the supposedly bad things that are happening in Gitmo, read some of the medal packages people are getting for being there. You try having someone throw a cup of urine or a piece of feces on you one time, let alone dozens of times a month. These people are hostile, wouldn't surrender, and were willing to die for a religious war they manufactured. Let them rot, or die of starvation(that's what they want to do anyway.)
This may not be a popular opinion on slashdot these days, but from someone who has been there, learn your facts and shut your mouth.
