Let this case set precedence, and hopefully this foolishness of the RIAA avoiding paying out for their own damn ignorance be done with.

The FAST Australia (RIAA) just got told they have to pay all the legal costs again of their own court case against iinet.
it's around 6+ million they owe.
saying they didn't think they should pay back the full amount and they should get a reduce amount because they got some agreements to what they said in court.
That the judge last week canned all that for a 2nd time and said they must pay the full amount and no more apples will be granted.
FAST are seeing if the can appeal in some other way see what happens.
I think judges and courts are catching up with the way RIAA are trying to side step laws and now turning around and pulling RIAA's head in big time.
Sueing 5000 people the other month doesn't bode well if you want to win in court as people get fed up with the same cases over and over, they become pointless.

Looks like, in my opinion, RIAA President Cary Sherman forgot to pull his head out of his south end ... yet again.

What gets me is that for all the "logic" the RIAA, MPAA and these other Hitler league groups think they are using, they seem to be missing the bigger picture. The more they go after those who actually listen, watch, and in general use the very products they are suing people over, the less people will be inclined to pay for them. They've created their own "Catch 22" scenario, sure they may on occasion scare the pants off someone (not me that's for sure :P) and get some measley payoff, but in the end the lose all the big cases, and then help steer laws and future legislation against them because of the failures they create along the way. At some point someone in these groups has to wake up and realize they are on their own creating the very demise of the industry that they claim file sharing is. They are so stuck in the old ways of doing things that they don't realize the real profit potential of file sharing. Thank goodness a lot of individual music and movie companies, along with artists, are starting to and are pulling away from these groups.
Yes this is a good day, and with it many more will come as these punks spend millions of dollars trying to defend unsustainable policies, all the while prosecuting someone over what amounts to a $.99 piece of music. Someone in these industries has to wake up and see that the costs for seeking out file sharers does not make them money, but in the end is costing them tons of money hand-over-fist in legal fees, and lost product revenue.

What I find ironic is that politically, the RIAA and MPAA lawyers represent people who in their political views are against 'BIG' business and continually make public statements against corporations and for the "little people".
It seems that "Power to the people" only applies when they can make a profit from "The people" other wise, they sue anybody and everybody they can.

lmao - funny how people who make roads arent to blame for the deaths on roads, yet the RIAA want this.
also amusing how the USA companies can steal IP from all over the globe and the US courts help them, yet they cry like babies when the boot is on the other foot.
also - dont they owe billions to artists whose work is put on compilations but they are never paid. oh the irony.

Well it is really something like RIAA 256 the people 7.
What the RIAA claims as the foundation for their rights is dubious then they build on it up into the clouds. A few weeks ago 60 minutes did a piece on a new set of blood suckers. If you use a quote from Mark Twain and you make a good deal of money of it. This guy will try to find the heirs of the guy then get you to sign some papers. Then he sues the guy that made money off Mark Twain on the behalf of the heirs. The heirs probably get 5% but it is found money for them.
Why in the US does a drug patent costing a billion dollars to develop lasts 17 yrs but an idea is protected for a century.
In the future will will probably have to pay up if we hum a tune.
Pretty soon toilets will have a coin slot so you have to pay the plumber who installed your toilet to use it.
