The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 2 December, 2008
In another move that shows the RIAA has little respect for anything besides money, Pittsburgh news channel WTAE.com is reporting that Nineteen-year-old Ciara Sauro has been sued by the anti-piracy group for illegally sharing 10 songs.
Making the situation so awful is the fact that Sauro is hospitalized every week due to her pancreatitis and her need of an islet cell transplant. Her current ... [ read the full article ]

Certain crimes seem to get more hysterical attention in the courts than others. Rip a thousand folks out of their life savings and you'll get a few years in a ritzy jail, out early ready to set up with your business contacts again.
Whether you may think it's more than 10 songs ... 10 songs is what she is being charged with. For the past few decades we've recorded songs off the radio, LPs, CDs and etc. and swapped them with our friends not for profit. NOW it's $800 per song...
Regardless of whether she's ill, the courts are sick for hitting her with that outrageous amount, what an utter travesty of law, what kowtowing bullshit.
Its a lot easier being righteous than right.

A lawyer is a lawyer is a lawyer...no matter what clothes they wear. RIAA has lawyers. The prosecutor is a lawyer. The judge is a lawyer. The defense is a lawyer. Many times, after trying to destroy each other in court, they will meet and have lunch or dinner together. It has always amazed me how a known sleaze ball, low life lawyer with political ties and that most people despise suddenly becomes a respected pillar of society when his political buddies appoint him/her to as a judge. The same goes for a district attorney being voted to that office.
In northern California, a policeman, while driving drunk, hit and killed a 13 year old kid then left the accident scene. In other words, a cop was a drunk, hit and run driver. In this locale, that would get most people around 16 years [sometimes 25 years if it goes to a manslaughter charge..] in prison and many times, an additional substantial fine plus a possible wrongful death lawsuit. In this case, there was originally five felony counts against the policeman, [ who was not held in jail, was put on administrative leave, and still was paid his police salary..] The district attorney, with the judge's agreement, dropped four of the five felony charges and lowered the fifth to a 'high misdemeanor' [what ever that is ???] and made a plea deal of guilty without malice to four years in lockup. He can be out in 6 to 9 months and back on the police force because a policeman can still be a policeman if there is no felony on his record....
What has this got to do with RIAA lawsuits... The lawyers.... They are all the same no matter what their position or what cases they are involved in... By the way, the majority of politicians are also lawyers, which should explain why things are so messed up everywhere.....

One need look no further than Senator Ted Kennedy who after partying let Mary Jo Kopeckne drown in an overturned car. Reported the accident the next day. He never served a minute. Still revered in the Senate today-but his time is coming and his 15 min of fame are near an end.

You can add Senator Byrd to that list. He is a card carrying leader in the Ku Klux Klan. To this day he'll use the 'N' word and no matter how angry he makes the citizenry, his fellow Senators protect him and he still buys enough votes with tax monies to get voted in again and again and again. Barney Frank, comedian turned politician, is another that will screw the country for his own gain...too many lawyer friends....

I have search this and found that the only one that is defended is the lawyers, by the lawyers.
Is to kill all the lawyers and the world would be a better place, and it is true it would be, like William Shakespeare has quoted in so many of his work's. And lawyers all ways defend there position they are justed and represent that say they are justed but only for one side there pockets. It is all ways the same the only one that matters, is how or who can pay more, or how can they blame for there justification, and that is the law it has nothing to do with being just or to justifiable by what is right, that is what they call loophole, make it work in there behalf, that is all that matters not Justice.
Did you know that a lawyer can not be sued, because no lawyer will take any of those cases. It would not be prudent, no not at all, is that right!!!.
you can look at it yes the line is told by a crook, but it would be better if you where represented by your peers not by a lawyer, that is what they tell us, if you want a jury, or judge, what they do not tell that the words are or the phases, are to misleading for there be half, or how many times they tell you to disregard some testimony, I know, I served in a jury, or there say I will rephrases the question because the other lawyer did not like the question because it was not the answer that was in there interest, or to dismiss evidence for there behalf. So who are the crooks, an who are the bad ones.
Just look at this link http://www.spectacle.org/797/finkel.html , an see how it is all twisted in one way or another, for the lawyers are Ur heroes.
If there where justice in the world. we would not use those crooks called lawyers.
