Patti Santangelo v. RIAA May Be Over

Posted by Zonk on from the keep-the-faith-kids dept.

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."

    We don't claim Interactive EasyFlow is good for anything -- if you
    think it is, great, but it's up to you to decide. If Interactive EasyFlow
    doesn't work: tough. If you lose a million because Interactive EasyFlow
    messes up, it's you that's out the million, not us. If you don't like this
    disclaimer: tough. We reserve the right to do the absolute minimum provided
    by law, up to and including nothing.
                    This is basically the same disclaimer that comes with all software
    packages, but ours is in plain English and theirs is in legalese.
                    We didn't really want to include any disclaimer at all, but our
    lawyers insisted. We tried to ignore them but they threatened us with the
    attack shark at which point we relented.

    Am I the only one that thinks ASCAP could be used interchangably as a synonym for Asshat?
