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."

    You know, they are still out there. Actual web pages with links to albums and on occasion a straight up .rar download. But it's just been fantastic I was able to find some Dance Hall Crashers and Mustard Plug albums I simply couldn't find anywhere else. In fact they are sites that look a lot like... this... It's like a breath of fresh air, sometimes I worry about the world at large when I look at the top torrents on any given site.
