RIAA Lied To Congress About New Filesharing Suits

Posted by timothy on Thursday February 5, 2009 @09:10PM from the honestly-they're-all-at-the-cleaners dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "On December 23, 2008, the RIAA's Mitch Bainwol sent a letter to the Judiciary and Commerce Committees of both the House and Senate, falsely representing to them that the RIAA 'discontinued initiating new lawsuits in August.' A copy of the letter is online (PDF). In fact, as many of you already know, the RIAA brought hundreds of new lawsuits since August. See, e.g., these 40 or so cases which just represent some of the cases brought in December." Maybe they're just taking a broad view of the world "initiate."

Saying RIAA lied is like saying the is sky blue or windows sucks. It's a well known fact.

Maybe, just maybe, you're talking shit.
