Tenenbaum Lawyers Now Passing the Hat

Posted by timothy on from the lawsuit-based-on-plot-of-the-producers dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "Just when you think this case couldn't get any stranger, it now appears that the defendant's 'legal team' in SONY BMG Music Entertainment v. Tenenbaum is passing the hat, taking up a collection. Only the reason for the collection isn't to defray costs and expenses of further defending the action, but to pay the RIAA the amount of the judgment so that their client won't have to declare bankruptcy. I would suggest there might have been a much better way of avoiding bankruptcy. It's called 'handling the case competently.'"

    Dear NewYorkCountryLawyer:

    I don't appreciate your tone towards these people (calling them "incompetent" et cetera). If I recall correctly the team was led by a law school professor, who I presume has the same intelligence as the professors who taught you & took you from being a know-nothing student to a professional. In my humble opinion it isn't proper to be insulting a man who likely has a higher IQ than you do (and better manners too). Frankly you're acting juvenile with these insults.

    Yes they lost the case, but do you really think you would have been able to win? If yes, then maybe you should have stepped forward to do the job, rather than sit on your ass and be the lawyerly-equivalent of a movie critic or Monday-morning quarterback.
