Patti Santangelo v. RIAA May Be Over

newtley writes "Odds are that Patti Santangelo, the RIAA case defendant and New York mother who has made a determined stand against the Big 4, may have won her battle to clear her name. She and her lawyer, Jordan Glass, have signed and submitted a stipulation to dismiss with prejudice the case lodged against her by the RIAA. US federal district court judge Colleen McMahon's language had earlier seemed to indicate it was time to end the farce, and the court had the power to entertain a motion for legal fees. Unfortunately, her two children are still 'in the line of fire' in the court room."

    She began singing "Ding dong, the witch is dead" which lead to the RIAA suing her again for a public performance of the song.

    If he's a lawyer, just put a $100 bill, a bottle of good scotch, and some crocodile tears and he'll come a' runnin'.

    Just kidding, he's good people. You can catch plenty of ambulance chasers that way, though.

    Seriously, have Sundays become so bad around here that a sensationalist non-story from an overtly partisan website makes the front page?

    You must be new here.

    Or just use an ambulance. Might be a tad easier.
