RIAA's Throwing In the Towel Covered a Sucker Punch
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "The RIAA threw in the towel, all right, but was only doing it in preparation for throwing a sucker punch. After dropping its 'making available' case, Warner v. Cassin, before Judge Robinson could decide whether to dismiss or not, it was only trying to do an 'end run' (if I may mix my sports metaphors) around the judge's deciding the motion and freezing discovery. The RIAA immediately, and secretly, filed a new case against the family, calling this one 'Warner v. Does 1-4.' In their papers the lawyers 'forgot' to mention that the new case was related. As a result, Does 1-4 was assigned to another judge, who knew nothing about the old case. The RIAA lawyers also may have forgotten that they couldn't bring any more cases over this same claim, since they'd already dismissed it twice before. Not to worry, NYCL wrote letters to both judges, reminding them of what the RIAA lawyers had forgotten."
That is all.
just to make sure he's safe from any shit riaa may try pulling.
now, which of you geeks want to take on this duty ?

I advise old age. That's how I'm planning to kill myself.
When's the RIAA going to stop suing families and finally go for the homeless people? ;)

How can you file a 'secret' lawsuit anyway?
I do it all the time. I have a folder under my bed labelled "Secret Lawsuits".
We are very proud to announce our new workshop called Subversion of Justice.
We think this is the new trend in law at this moment, and have already found 4 speakers that are more than willing to state their case.
Our thanks go to Mr Bush, Mr Thompson, An anonymous person from the Scientology church who wants to go by the nomicker of 'Tom', and one or more speakers from an organization calling themselves RIAA for being this fast in giving their assent to speak at this great event.
Please stay tuned for more details.
Coz eternity my friend, is a long *ing time.
I suggest disembowelment, myself.

There, I fixed that for you.
There's an old legal maxim that say if you can't win under the law, argue the facts. And if you can't win under either, well, there's always lying, cheating, and stealing.
If someone says he and his monkey have nothing to hide, they almost certainly do.
Imagine a coin. Good is one one side and bad is on other. Then there are lawyers, which are opposite to both sides. They are greater than both good and evil, able to walk on edges between good and bad. And there is NYCL, he is in oppsoition to lawyers, and he is one of them. The most mythical man of all dimensions. He is the one which trims the edges, uncovering thruth before our eyes. He is the son of justice.

I work for a bar association, and we indeed host continuing legal education (CLE) seminars entitled, Avoiding Ethics Mistakes in the Legal Profession, but that title doesn't fit on our room signage so we just go with, Avoiding Ethics.
Boooooooo!!!!! Hisssssss!!!!
If I went around claiming I was an emperor...they'd put me away!

Do you have any Torrent Tracker for it?

So, what you're saying is that in contrast to most lawyers, who are coins with big edges, NYCL is a marble? Or just that he has more marbles than most lawyers?

This is off topic, but I'd never date a lawyer unless I was one.
Closing on the half century, I've just heard too many ugly stories about how bad it can get when the relationship ends. I'd prefer someone safe, like a gang leader's sister.
She was like chocolate when she drank... semi-sweet at first and then increasingly bitter.

And I'm posting here because NYCL is precisely the kind of self-absorbed cunt that makes the world so unbearable.
Would a self-absorbing cunt require tampons? No idea why that thought popped into my head.

You just having used Microsoft Visual Bridge Express 2008 yet. Collapsing is a standard feature if the road becomes overburdened by traffic (at which point it is assumed that you would want to demolish and upgrade the new 12 lane Enterprise Edition).

Forget the 12 lane Enterprise Edition, that is so old!
Now we got the 12 lane SUPER NEAT VISTA edition!
It has the same number of lanes, and less cars can go at once, but more can wait in line... and don't you want the bridge to take advantage of that line?
I steal signatures. This one used to be yours.
And for the record, I do love life, have no suicidal tendencies, and never engage in high risk activities.
However it could be argued that my entry into this arena may have displayed some masochistic tendency.
