Slashdot Mirror
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."
That legal letter to the RIAA's law firm is rife with spelling and grammatical errors. While it is not an official filing, I would nevertheless be loathe to use an attorney, no matter how creative, who could not properly write and spell. It is at the very least unprofessional to send a letter in this state as a matter of professional correspondence.
