RIAA Drops Enforcement Case To "Sort Out" Inaccuracies

Posted by Soulskill on from the nothing-to-see-here-move-along dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "The other day I reported on my blog that the record companies had assigned, to the RIAA itself, a $4000 default judgment they'd gotten against some lady in Massachusetts, and that the RIAA was going after the defendant with an 'enforcement' proceeding to squeeze the money out of her. Today, it turns out, the RIAA withdrew its motion because, according to the RIAA's collection lawyer, the motion 'contained factual inaccuracies ... which plaintiff needs to sort out' (PDF). The collection lawyer must be new around here; a few little 'factual inaccuracies' never bothered an RIAA lawyer before."

    So um, did anyone start thinking about their breathing and then realise they had to keep thinking about it in order to not die? Because I thought about my breathing, and then I stopped thinking about it as I read the rest of the troll, and nothing happened. So then I thought it was just a stupid troll. But then I thought, maybe there's something wrong with me. Maybe it works for everyone else except me? Or maybe I'm already dead and I've gone to hell and my hell is exactly the same as my actual life so I can't tell the difference. That'd be pretty depressing. Or would it?
