Awesome, glad to see the French doing something good for once. ;)

Too bad the MPAA/RIAA gets away with this same tactic in America. A judge needs to give them the smackdown like they did to this lady.

I don't really like most lawyers as they are 99% money-motivated and without conscience so I say .......................(sorry AD for the bad word)


but BOO YAH! That bitch ain't practicin' no more now. Lesson taught, lesson probably learned and punishment is well deserved!

According to MY laws, she would have been sent to the gallows for attempting to intimidate that way. Wouldn't be surprised if a few considered suicide after what she threatened.


Baaaaaad French biatch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No 'moo lah lah for you for 6 months'
