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."

Maybe now they'll start resorting to more traditional methods for people in their business. Like severed horse heads at the foot of your bed.
The theory of relativity doesn't work right in Arkansas.
Secretary: Sir, this letter says no.
Lawyer #1: Excuse me? It says no what?
Secretary: It says no, they're not going to pay up, and that our evidence is weak.
Lawyer #2: Damn, they've got us on that one.
Lawyer #1: Time to give up I suppose.
translated to "street," it basically says
"Yo, Vinnie, youse working on your own here, and the CourtFather is VERY displeased with how youse is conducting yourself. And you didn't even ask to work this dock. The CourtFather is having a meeting with your Consigliore. Maybe youse should go home while you can."
if this is supposed to be a new economy, how come they still want my old fashioned money?
No, you've got it all wrong. See, it's a compound word. "Con" being the opposite of "pro", and "gress" meaning improvement, "congress" is therefore against improvement. Or, possible, it is a gress made up of "cons", short for "convicts"...there are probably quite a few of those...
