RIAA Walks Away From Another "Discovery" Case

Posted by kdawson on Sunday January 18, 2009 @01:12AM from the seeking-the-light-switch dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "You may recall that the RIAA walked away last week from one of their 'discovery' cases seeking the identities of 'John Does' who attended Rhode Island College. We have just learned that they walked away from another one, BMG Music v. Does 1-14, in Greensboro, North Carolina. 2 of the 14 John Does had settled, but the other 12 — who hung tough — will never be identified to the RIAA lawyers and will not have to pay any 'settlement.' This adds fuel to the debate over whether the RIAA has finally seen the light or is still sneaking around in the dark."

How many times do we have to repeat this?
*Copyright infringement is not theft*
No it isn't. No.
Now ask if NewYorkCountryLawer unequivocally condemns his own clients' alleged infringement. What kind of a lawyer would do that? A stupid one.

*Forcing people to create music without pay is not theft*
"Forcing people to plant cotton without pay is not theft"
You can repeat those sentences again-and-again (like propaganda), but it still won't make either sentence true. You're stealing labor in this case, and in the other, and theft of labor is a violation of human rights.
