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."

    Being stressed, bashed, scarred, and abused is part of life.

    Death is also a part of life. Yet we try to avoid it when possible and take a dim view on anyone forcing it on to others.

    Unless, of course, the person is helpless and can't speak for herself.

    See Terry Schiavo.

    Then we cheer death on to the point of handing out Oscars to movies where Miss "The Next Karate Kid" wants to die.
