NYCL Responds to RIAA Accusations
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "You may recall that when the RIAA decided to run away with its tail between its legs in the long running Brooklyn case against a home health aide who has never used a computer, UMG v. Lindor, it decided to take some parting shots at the defendant and NewYorkCountryLawyer, asking for 'discovery sanctions,' and blaming them for its inability to prove its case. Today NYCL gave them his response, accusing the RIAA lawyers of persistent misstatements of fact (PDF) throughout their motion papers, and of flouting the rules and misstating the law (PDF). Although the RIAA's motion papers took a number of shots at NYCL's copyright law blog, 'Recording Industry vs. The People,' NYCL confined his response on that subject to a single footnote."
This kind of behavior is the lawyer equivalent of turning the lights off while someone else is in the bathroom. They probably left the toilet seat up too. Grr. Argh... wet socks.

NYCL writes in third person? Anonymous coward approves.
Sounds like a pep rally cheer, doesn't it?
More than that, I hope someone will make a movie about this. I gather that Marie Lindor doesn't look a lot like Julia Roberts, but I'm sure the movie people can figure out the casting.
Besides, if firefighters fight fires, and crime fighters fight crime, what do freedom fighters fight?
Ignore this signature. By order.

I think if they made a movie about it, it would be fun to download... You know, just for shits and giggles after you watched it in the theator.
I'd say more than that, NYCL is a bona-fide Freedom Fighter.
One man's Freedom Fighter is another man's Terrorist.
Nice quip, but ... how many people here are feeling terrified of Mr. Beckerman? Show of hands, please. What? Nobody? No, Mr. Bainwol, you don't get a vote.

Humanitarians? No, wait, that's a different joke...
Think of how much better off the average family would be as well as the country as a whole with that kind of training and education per individual.
Considering how often you invade foreign countries, I'd say that "better off" is not the term. Unless you think the US is overpopulated.
French!
How would NYCL react to his being cast as Jack Nicholson?
I don't really care who they cast as me, as long as they give me a nice fee -- like maybe 5% of what Jack Nicholson gets for a movie.
Still, I'm sure you wouldn't like to remain in the minds of most people looking like Tom Cruise.
OK make it Ron Perlman. (But don't forget about my fee.)

By day, he's mild mannered lawyer Ray Beckerman, but by night he becomes.... THE UNDERSIGNED!
There's no need to fear, Undersigned is here!
When criminals in this world appear,
And break the laws that they should fear,
And frighten all who see or hear,
The cry goes up both far and near for
Undersigned, Undersigned,
Undersigned, Undersigned.
Speed of lightning, roar of thunder,
Fighting all who rob or plunder
Undersigned, Undersigned.
When in this world the headlines read
Of those who's hearts are filled with greed
And rob and steal from those in need.
To right this wrong with blinding speed goes
Undersigned, Undersigned,
Undersigned, Undersigned.
Speed of lightning, roar of thunder,
Fighting all who rob or plunder
Undersigned, Undersigned.
The higher the technology, the sharper that two-edged sword.
[...] I have the law on my side. Doesn't that give me the advantage, ultimately?
You're new to this law-thing, right?

I don't think these guys have a Christmas list. I think they have a Halloween list.
