Ray Beckerman Sued By the RIAA
An anonymous reader writes "Ray Beckerman, known for questioning the RIAAs legal tactics (also for frequent Slashdot contributions), was sued by the RIAA over his blog Recording Industry vs. People. In question is the 'vexatious' claims that the RIAAs legal tactics is a 'sham.' Beckerman is quoted as saying that the litigation against him is 'frivolous and irresponsible.'"
Beckerman is now also being sued for saying that the litigation against him is "frivolous and irresponsible.""
Doh.
The RIAA said Beckerman, one of the nation's few attorneys who defends accused file sharers
How DARE he!!!
Those who believe the Internet is private,
find their privates are on the Internet.
The RIAA has been conducting a multimillion dollar ad campaign in an attempt to paint copyright infringement as a crime in the same class or worse as theft
Remember how piracy helps the terrorists and drug dealers? Think of the children!

Who will pay his legal fees?!
Let's look at the tactics: RIAA sues many people... and publicizes it. Gets poked in the eye by suing dead people and people without computers...(in the mix)... Now. Things don't look good from a PR standpoint. What to do... what to do... Hmmm. How about getting rid of the defense lawyer!! Then things would be much smoother!! Maybe we can push him and silence him!!!!

In Sweden, we would say that they have been shitting in the blue cabinet (skitit i det blå skåpet).

So stated by an AC! Is that you, Ray?
He is re-approaching laughing-stock on the way back up to failure.
If employees of the RIAA step outside and it's raining, they immediately think of suing God.
An easy win, as he won't show up in court. The real problem is getting money out of the wanker...
Umm..., I am not sure how it works at your doctors office, but a circumcision should not involve your ass at all. I would seek a 2nd opinion
Don't give in to them, Ray.
Right. Because the first thing that popped into my head when I read the summary was "Oh, he'll probably just lay down and take this. No fight in that guy."
William of Ockham had no beard. The most likely explanation is that it was chewed off by squirrels every morning.
Personally I hope that he vexates the flying fuck out of those bastards.

APK quotes people (including myself) without context and should not be trusted. Just thought you should know.
Criminals, by definition sell bootlegs.
There are lots of convicted criminals who never sold a bootleg. I guess they should be pardoned, since obviously their has been a miscarriage of justice here.
No one has a right to their *own* opinion. They have a right to the TRUTH.

I swear, the writers must have been trying a social experiment to see if they could make Wesley so disliked that trekkies would try to kill Wil Wheaton...
Remember Trekkies...as your God, I'd much rather you kill Berman.

Something tells me that he isn't going to comment here, as, I'm sure, all such comments would be admissable. It's fine to talk about other people's cases, but prudent to be quiet about your own.
Yes, no way I would say publicly that the motion is frivolous, meritless, and an abuse of the judicial system.

No, you forget this is the RIAA, what we are looking for is disemboweled.
The RIAA just feels the need to lash out at someone before they go the way of Lehman Bros.
You forgot: "In The 21st Century Nations Don't Invade Other Nations"
We're not invaiding nations we're fighting a war on terror. :P
(Though, funnily enough, every time I say that, someone or some entity promptly proves me wrong.)
Hi, I'm here to prove you wrong.
Wait, before I go, it seems like I'm forgetting something... um, oh well forget it.
