RIAA Sues 19-Year-Old Transplant Patient
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "Just when you think they've reached rock bottom, it seems the RIAA always finds room to sink a little lower. This time they've sued an innocent, 19-year-old transplant patient, hospitalized with pancreatitis and needing islet cell transplants. Although the young Pittsburgh lady claims that she did not infringe any copyrights, she failed to answer the complaint in time, and a default judgment was taken against her. A Pittsburgh area lawyer has stated that he will represent her pro bono and make a motion to open up the default."
You are saying that because the RIAA sued her, she is probably guilty.
Nope, I'm saying she's 19 and has an internet connection* so she is probably guilty.
* the article is actually pretty light on this and she might not have an internet connection. Although if she didn't have one, I think that'd be MUCH more relevant then her being ill and so would have been mentioned.
Sure. Just call the Make A Wish Foundation.
You are a Royal Mucking Foron
Sure. Just call the Make A Wish Foundation.
I didn't know the Make A Wish Foundation did every cancer patient's whim until they die. That's pretty cool. Wait, they don't?
Whose the Fucking Moron now?
Yes, and have you ever read anything intelligible written by a lawyer?
Oh. You don't know her like I do. She's guilty alright...
You dork.
So you think that if someone is ill or disabled they are ABOVE THE LAW?
Its sickens me that you are allowed to practice as a lawyer.
You clearly have fuck all understanding of the concept of everyone being equal under the law.

I agree. we need more people who try and drag someone's illness into a court case to get sympathy from the public, whilst knowing as a lawyer, it has fuck all to do with the court case or the rights and wrongs of it.
What a fucking hero!!!
