No Rock And Roll Fun

THE SUE BARKER: So, despite having had their methods ruled out of order in the Verizon case, the RIAA are still going to push ahead with suing everybody in the world, ever, according Achy Breaky Cary Sherman. As p2pnet points out, though, this is a risky process for the cartel to carry through: so far, its "victories" have been scored over individuals who received the summons and elected to settle out of court rather than face the five-headed beast's hugely overpaid legal team. Now it looks rather like everything will have to go through the courtroom first, which means not only will the supposedly cash-strapped industry be having to burn through millions, but also will have their methods - dubious as best - explored in open court. 2004 might be fun.
