RIAA Victim Jammie Thomas Gets a New Lawyer

newtley writes "Only days after Brian Toder, her previous legal representative, had decided discretion was the better part of valour, leaving her fend for herself against the RIAA, Jammie Thomas says another lawyer has come forward with an offer of pro bono help. He's K.A.D. Camara from Camara & Sibley in Houston, Texas, says Jammie. And, 'He's the youngest person in history to graduate from Harvard Law school with honors,' she points out. Nor will her retrial be delayed, as was expected. It'll now go forward in June 15, as slated. 'I'm so happy!' Jammie said."

    haven't we learned already that free isn't always a good thing?!

    That depends, is this lawyer free as in speech or free as in beer?

    I wonder why he's "wasting" his time fighting bullies like RIAA in court instead of doing something really useful by trying to solve humanity's biggest problems.

    He's seems pretty smart. Perhaps he has identified the RIAA as the biggest threat to humanity?
