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.'"
Except, if the RIAA components were to fold, I think we could all go on living and a replacement would probably pop up overnight that was less evil. If AIG goes under, a whole mess of people on a whole mess of continents get royally shafted and the economy weakens even more.
"seriously - we don't seem to make examples of bad businesses. in fact, we BAIL THEM OUT with taxpayer money!"
Are you talking about AIG? I thought that was a pretty good investment. I challenge you to find anywhere else where money can be loaned from the Feds at 12% interest! The taxpayers are going to get quite a windfall from this down the road a bit.
