RIAA lawyers oppose Jammie Thomas getting time to find a lawyer

article published on 19 May, 2009

Last Friday Brian Toder, the lawyer for Jammie Thomas in her defense of RIAA copyright infringement allegations, filed a motion to withdraw from the case. It was unopposed by the RIAA, unlike Ms Thomas' request for a continuance while she finds a new lawyer. If the objection were to come from anyone but an RIAA lawyer it would probably be surprising. But given their history of manipulating ... [ read the full article ]

Let them bring it on! Dragging somebody into a court room trial (without proper legal representation can result in their conviction being overturned on appeal even for murder. Convictions can be overturned by an appeals court, if you can prove that your lawyer didn't know WTF he was doing as well. These RIAA idiots are wasting taxpayers time and money on a circus trial that might blow up in their faces.

Here's an idea...
How about a class action lawsuit against these idiots for wasting taxpayer money by manipulating the court system. Yeah I know it won't ever happen but its good to dream isn't it?

The riaa does remind of a movie line though...
Stupid is as stupid does!

That's criminal law. This is a civil case. If you are charged with a crime and you can't afford an attorney, the government will provide one for you.

But, if your are sued and you can't afford an attorney, you're on your own and you will probably loose. And under the American system, if the defendent wins he/she still has to pay for his/her own lawyer.

It's pretty clear what worries them most is an opponent who understands the law.
I am waiting for the day that the RIAA chooses their next victum and it turns out to be a lawyer and that would be the best day. Mostly yes its the problem that they go for people that do not know the law or have a very limited understanding of it. I feel that one day this circus has to stop period.

These a--holes are even suing radio that stream their own locally originated talk shows on line. You don't even have to play their crappy music, for the RIAA mafia to demand annual kickbacks in blood money. Who is the thief really?

This is WTF is wrong with the corrupt Amerikan congress. Those ba$+ards and 8i+ches represent the fascist corporations, which finance their dishonest political advertising and not the imbeciles who elected them. I dropped out of this crooked system years ago.

Anything above the local elections is a big lie...

Word to the wise. If your going to start your own Shoutcast Radio station don't stream on American servers. It makes it harder for the RIAA to determine if you the broadcaster is in the US. Never give your location when you broadcast. And use a FREE voice mail box like laser FREE voice mail. You can spoof your caller ID wen you call to check your messages. You can protect yourself.

It is essentially important for human beings to follow laws and orders
without which a man can be brutal enough harm others. It can be easily
mentioned that law plays a vital role in arranging the mob in a
systematic manner. So, one should never fail to follow laws of any
kind, concerning anything.

The lawyer for Jammie Thomas is seeking to withdraw from representing his client in the pending retrial of the nation's only Recording Industry Association of America file sharing case to go to a jury.

The good lawyer is not the man who has an eye to every side and angle of contingency, and qualifies all his qualifications, but who throws himself on your part so heartily, that he can get you out of a scrape.

RIAA may be the worst thing to happen to music since Yoko Ono met John Lennon.

...Then again, they seem to be doing their best to kill the labels by killing radio. I can't complain about that.
