MIT Student Plans to Take on RIAA
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "MIT's online newspaper, The Tech, reports that a student named as a John Doe by the RIAA is planning to fight back against their questionable legal tactics. The anonymous student told The Tech that he is 'the victim of a fishing expedition by the RIAA,' and is 'disappointed that MIT isn't going to step up ... Other schools like Boston University and the University of Oregon have resisted RIAA subpoenas of student records more actively than MIT has, he said'. Maybe his attorneys will be able to get some assistance from some of the Harvard Law School students in Professor Nesson's 'Evidence' class, who have been assigned — as part of their coursework — the drafting of a motion to quash an RIAA subpoena."
Wow, I always thought those AC, first post, venom filled comments were from low brow AssHats. Good to see some nice hate being spewed from learned cowards as well.
"I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the doughtnut... I don't need a receipt for the doughnut. I give you money and you give me the doughnut, end of transaction. We don't need to bring ink and paper into this. I can't imagine a scenario that I would have to prove that I bought a doughnut. To some skeptical friend, 'Don't even act like I didn't get that doughnut, I've got the documentation right here... It's in my file at home.
Just -1, Troll talking to another.
Sue MIT for not protecting your student records properly. You can use that settlement money to pay off the RIAA.
"It's the height of ridiculousness to say for those 9 lines you get hundreds of millions."
Instead, use the name of the jock down the hall that you hate anyway.

Obviously, jaywalkers should be fined a sum that would ruin their life financially.
That way they'll take notice of walking across streets... which they're living on.
I thought that dude was dead.

Two words: COPY PASTA.
Never attribute to intelligence what can be explained by sourcing from the internet.
failing that, this troll needs to stop glorifying the Romans and probably needs some MDMA and a hug.
The current inflation suggests that IANAL should become obsole and another term would be better, IAALR (I Am A Lawyer Really)
Its like this: The RIAA is a company that sells spinner hubcaps which are totally gay. They drive by your house and see that you have rims with spinners so they decide you robbed them, even though your spinners are cold hard ali 20's probably with LEDs on them too. So they pull out their mac-10's and drop like 5 magazines on your car, cuz they are gangstas literally.
Balderdash!
