Guilty of contempt, I can see.
Guilty of sharing files? How? There is still no evidence.

deleting data from a hard drive doesnt create any evidence but it is going against a judges legal requests, so like the pastor said the only thing this guy should be charged with is contempt of court

He should have encrypted the drive before the RIAA contacted him. Due to laws against self-incrimination, the judge would not have been able to force the password from him.
Drivecrypt (bootauth) and PGP would have saved his hide.

Awe thats a dame shame, ow wait thats right when you delete stuff it never really is deleted, just flagged for right over current data.
this just shows that the pig money hungry RIAA can't even hire a proper HDD Analyzer. i bet i could restore every thing in his kaza folder right now. it also goes to prove that in digital life, the judge doesn't know his shit. maybe he never deleted any thing maybe the RIAA took his computer and tossed it around, damaging the HDD or maybe his computer Had a V-Bomb. we all know the RIAA are honest hard working people, but maybe the RIAA deleted those files, they knew there where 42 files in the kaza folder which they attained by illegal snooping in the first place.
Sorry Jeff looks like they bought of your judge better luck next time, right chap

So because Jeff is claiming he never had Kazaa or the files on his computer, he can't say he made them available but no one downloaded them. So what I gotta say is -- what a dumb jury to convict based solely on the word of the RIAA???? Maybe the defense needs to show what lairs and thieves the RIAA is.
