U. Maine Law Students Trying To Shut RIAA Down

Posted by kdawson on from the corrupt-enterprise dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "Remember those pesky student attorneys from the University of Maine School of Law's Cumberland Legal Aid Clinic, who inspired the Magistrate Judge to suggest monetary fines against the RIAA lawyers? Well they're in the RIAA's face once again, and this time they're trying to shut down the RIAA's whole 'discovery' machine: the lawsuits it files against 'John Does' in order to find out their names and addresses. They've gone and filed a Rule 11 motion for sanctions (PDF), seeking — among other things — an injunction against all such 'John Doe' cases, arguing that the cases seek to circumvent the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act which protects student privacy rights, are brought for improper purposes of obtaining discovery, getting publicity, and intimidation, and are in flagrant violation of the joinder rules and numerous court orders. If the injunction is granted, the RIAA will have to go back to the drawing board to find another way of finding out the identities of college students, and the ruling — depending on its reasoning — might even be applicable to the non-college cases involving commercial ISPs."

  1. SACRIFICIAL SUICIDE! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic


      Satanized, crucified, feel the warth of suicide
      Incus fear of the sphere, angel darkness disappears
      Covenant, blasphemous, open up unhollness
      Father Satan, let me just unholy sins

      Chorus:
      Suicide sacrifice
      Desrtuction of holy life
      Blood of unholy knife
      Satan I sacrifice

      Behold the crucifix, symbol of sterility
      I am crucifix - Satan
      Suicide sacrifice, profeasting evil night
      Lust into reality - Satan
      Angel of the black abyss, Satan lord i hall
      Insane blasphemous - Satan
      Sacrifical suicide, Ritual to end my life
      Behemoth incess my fate - Satan

      Dammed to tell, end of my life
      Warth of God - Satan
      Sin my soul, blesses with fire
      Throne of stone - Satan
      I must die, in my wake
      Seventh gate - Satan
      Suicide, end my life
      I must die - satan

      Suicide sacrifice, thrust of evil deep inside
      Lucifer never lies, take away thee mortal life
      Demigod, Satan son, commend to body to the ground
      Father Satan, I'll find peace when I am God

      (Repeat Chorus)
