- sliksta, on 05/16/2008, -0/+80Hmm. The crooks(RIAA) maliciously prosecute an innocent person, have up to 6 lawyers at a time in the courtroom, but says she should only be paying for one so that they should pay her less for attorney's fees. Corporate criminals is what they are.
- br0wnstar, on 05/16/2008, -1/+60We've become desensitized to "***** the RIAA", I don't really feel the level of hate that I should in that statement.
How about:
"THE RIAA CAN SUCK MY ***** BALLS" - JNudda, on 05/16/2008, -7/+62***** the RIAA
- Minarchian, on 05/16/2008, -0/+53The RIAA says that $300,000 is excessive yet they expect people to pay $750 for each song they d/l?
Not only are they criminals, they're hypocritical criminals at that. - Omek, on 05/16/2008, -1/+33oh snap... take that RIAA.

Glad to see that some judges are using common sense, and not letting the RIAA get away with their ridiculous claims.
You go Tanya! - Matri, on 05/16/2008, -0/+16The RIAA...
- XternalHD, on 05/16/2008, -10/+25***** THE RIAA.
- ZombieSociety, on 05/16/2008, -2/+15Remember, kids, when you download free music, you're downloading communism!
- YodaJones, on 05/16/2008, -1/+13Now if we can get the other 4000-5000 defendants to score like this!
- noahgelman, on 05/16/2008, -1/+12+16 and -3 diggs on this comment
Who diggs down "***** the RIAA" especially when its used properly and at the appropriate time? - johnstar, on 05/16/2008, -0/+9Do you think this is what a real artist wants? I will never sign my band with the top 5 ***** that!
- bizkit00, on 05/16/2008, -4/+10infinity,

- pigfister, on 05/16/2008, -2/+7what would be interesting is knowing the RIAA's lawyers fees they making a decision on whether its an acceptable payout.
Name, shame and boycott the *****.

- mCanada, on 05/16/2008, -0/+4Do you hear that RIAA? That's the sound of a $107 834 dollar rick roll, you ***** oxygen thieves. The first of many expensive uuiU's. Statute Law: it's a bitch.
- awesometastic1, on 05/16/2008, -0/+4ahhhh. Justice
- noahgelman, on 05/16/2008, -0/+3***** the Digg algorithm and OGC!
(That turned out differently then I expected) - asforme, on 05/16/2008, -0/+3+0 / -0 = 0 diggs
Do you not get a dig for your own comment anymore? - Drahkar, on 05/16/2008, -0/+3The bit that baffles me the most is that organizations like the RIAA are a group of competing companies working together towards the same goals and using their combined might to control the market. Why doesn't this raise any Monopoly flags for anyone else?
- Zippo, on 05/16/2008, -1/+4It's been said before and I'll say it again: ***** THE RIAA.
Here's hoping we see more wins for the good guys like this. - Twenty, on 05/16/2008, -1/+3According to the RIAA on what you should be paying in legal fees, not very many at all.

- nekochan, on 05/16/2008, -1/+3also, rapidshare premium and vip status in your private trackers.
- blacklilyninja, on 05/16/2008, -1/+3if you aren't logged in the word "*****" is censored.
wt F U C K... I disapprove - JoeVet, on 05/16/2008, -0/+2Its her lawyer that is responsible for her win. This was a legal win as much as a moral one. By winning this case her lawyer may have emboldened other lawyers to help RIAA victims who generally cannot afford the hundreds of thousands of dollars required to fight multinational corporations intent on the destruction of individual customers. She definitely deserves high praise for taking on such a bully but her lawyer deserves the same credit and praise for not only effectively defending his client with no expectancy of being paid but also for helping her attack further in her class action suit. And IANAL.
- nekochan, on 05/16/2008, -0/+2***** republicans, and Rick Astley?
- mCanada, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1Like I said, it's not the $107834 that matters - at all. It's the precedent that it sets for future cases. Of course it's a drop in the bucket, but if a few of those 27 kids get approached by money hungry lawyers who see 30K pay checks , market forces may change things. etc,etc,etc
- enforcerpsu, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1This is awesome. But reality is that its already over for the RIAA. They can sue people all they want. Its over. They lost. This isn't even a debate over what is right and what is wrong but the masses will dictate where we go from here. Its inevitable.
- jo21, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1if that ever happen to me i would never bought a CD again.
- nydwarf, on 05/17/2008, -0/+1Funny, now when THEY have to pay out an overboard amount, they start whining. What a bunch of bitches!
- atroxodisse, on 05/17/2008, -0/+1Umm...the money was to pay for her lawyer. That was the whole point.
- McShr3dd3r, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1Get ready for the next step folks...

"Critics had complained that one of PRO-IP's provisions would have assessed fines for each separate copyright work on a compilation work such as a CD, meaning the fines for a 10-song compilation CD would range from $7,500 to $1.5 million, instead of the current $750 to $150,000. "

- inactive, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1I think it's only fair that they pay what they accused her of oweing. eg if they say she must huge amounts for infringement and they can't prove it in court then they must pay her the money!
- SoxFanNH, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1Awesome, finally someone realizes what crap the RIAA is trying to pull
- gritta, on 05/16/2008, -2/+3***** the MPAA!
- Clearmedium, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1LAMO
GTFO
Your not welcome here troll. - Rixta, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1So how, oh how will I get my Britney music?
- sexyflanders, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1Good hope she gets more I too thought the # of lawyers was pretty dumb. I think the judge should award more because their stupid reasoning. If you sue someone and you drop the case then be prepared. They ruined someone's name and reputation and now want it to go away FU RIAA.
*Turns on some J-Rock* - SilverBlade2k, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1Damn right she should win the attorney's fees. It shouldn't be negotiated either. She should be awarded the original amount.
When the RIAA successfully sues someone, they can't negotiate a price. So why should the RIAA do it when they are on the losing side? - TrevorBelmont, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1"Like someone people have"? You better learn to speak English. Go back to school.
- asforme, on 05/16/2008, -1/+1FTA: "Of course, all the RIAA needs is for 27 college kids to settle at $4,000 a pop and it's got the award covered."
I doubt they really care that much. I don't think this changes anything. -
