Tenenbaum Lawyers Now Passing the Hat

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.'"

CmdrTaco was probably worried about being sued for libel by ... the Harvard law school! Does he have anything to worry about, though?

Nah.
1. It was an expression of an opinion.
2. Truth is a defense.

You want people to donate $600,000 to the RIAA? Is this from the Onion?

I'm still hoping I've been pranked.
