RIAA Receives Stern Letter, Folds

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "In SONY BMG v. Merchant, in California, the defendant's lawyer wrote the RIAA a rather stern letter recounting how weak the RIAA's evidence is, referring to the deposition of the RIAA's expert witness (see Slashdot commentary), and threatening a malicious prosecution lawsuit. The very same day the RIAA put its tail between its legs and dropped the case, filing a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal. About an hour earlier NYCL had termed the letter a 'model letter'; maybe he was right."

Lots of bragging in there about his clients vast wealth and ability to fight back.

Guess that doesn't apply to me. I can't fly techs around the country to copy my hard drive and dance the hokey pokey and do other bullshit.

They've no doubt taken millions from people who cant fight back.. Is there a tally anywhere? Or is it all "confidential".

I should also note that lawyers are duplicitious sacks of dog shit. Don't lionize this guy, he's not fighting the good fight, he's "getting a rich guy out of trouble".

Heh
