In a related story, Harland Sanders, a spokesman for an unnamed company, said he would be presenting the University of Manchester Dept. of Paleontology with a one billion dollar donation for the study of the recently unearthed soft tissue fossil. "This is a very important find that must be studied without concern for cost." stated the honorary Colonel from Kentucky. "I mean, look at the size of those drumsticks!"
They are distributing software designed to gather evidence of copyright infringement in violation of copyright! The verve! The audacity! We know they know about copyrights. We know they know the penalties.
I hope every contributor to the GPL'd software that they are distributing without a valid license sues them for the maximum legal statutory amount of $150,000 for each of these willful violations. Since the Linux core contains at least 6,000+ files, which would be 6,000+ violations for one copy, I'm sure being hit with a possible judgment of $900,000,000+ per copy would wake them up.
P.S. I downloaded the.iso. Add one to the number of copies.
Everyone should go out an buy a new plasma antenna before they switch on Feb 17, 2009. After that, your old metal ones will have to have an adapter to work.
As much as I think Crimson King should get every bit of cash for EMI's willful copyright violations, I hope EMI manages to get out of it for pennies on the dollar. Not because they deserve to get off, not because CK doesn't deserve the money, but so the next time the RIAA gets to trial and asks for $150,000 for each download, the defendant can enter EMI's payment scheme into evidence.
"Look, your honor, when the shoe is on the other foot, each download was worth three cents and there was no price for 'continuously making available.' Since this is what they say music is worth, we are offering 78 cents for these 26 songs."
Unfortunately, we don't have the law whereby the winner of a suit has to pay for the court costs for everything after a settlement was offered that equals or exceeds the judgment.

2) "Well, we removed all evidence due to technicalities. The prosecution couldn't have known this would happen until after the suit was filed."
More like --> 2) "Their 'expert' is, and in every case thus far has been using guesswork and that's all they have. Without facts this case never should have been brought. Make them pay for the lawyer I had to hire because they picked my name out of the phone book to extort money from."
I you (or others) do this, the key to winning is 'abuse of copyright.' By claiming the rights that are exclusive rights to the copyright owner without being that owner, they can lose their copyrights. That would certainly put a crimp in their McCarthyist litigations.
