RIAA Filed 62 New Cases In April Alone

Posted by kdawson on from the what-part-of-stop-do-you-not-understand dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "Based upon a quick examination of the records in PACER, I detected 62 new cases brought by the RIAA against individuals in the month of April alone. In December, 2008, the RIAA had represented to Congress that they had 'discontinued initiating new lawsuits in August [2008].'"

    Libertarians are idiots that would return most of the population to serfdom by removing all that protects the weak from the strong.

    Obviously she should have used common sense, but the penalty for failing to use common sense when handling a cup of coffee should not be 3rd degree burns.

    Accepting responsibility would have been dealing with the annoying chafing from mild surface burns, replacing the pair of paints, fixing her own upholstery. Hospitalization from (and let me repeat) a cup of coffee is above and beyond what one should reasonably expect from a lapse in common sense.
