Tadao Kurt : Hey Jimi! Wow I glad I finally met you! Your guitar playing was mind blowing. There was never another person who was able to emulate your style.

Jimi : Who are you?

Keith Moon : O_o.

Joplin : Suicide is for pussies.

Or better yet, Nirvana's popularity would fizzle out, and people would about them for a decade.

Tadao You're right... Cobain and Hendrix are kissing each other in heaven. :-/

El Blanco Its called getting old. Thats why I'm glad Hendrix, Cobain, Kinnison and Belushi died young. Otherwise, our memories of them would be sullied by PG rated family comedies and oh-so-whacky reality shows.

Ozzie Osbourne and Eddie Murphy, I'm looking at you.

That would be really depressing

Grislygus I meant that a successful suit against the RIAA might pave the way for a flood of new ones.

Wishful thinking, I know, but still.

And, I could be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure copyrights on music haven't lead to cancer in anyone just yet.

Grislygus I really wish Bill Hicks was still kicking it. Anyway, I wonder if this is all going to end ala the Big Tobacco floodgates.

El Blanco Still, its an uphill battle. They have the resources to overwhelm her. The fact she was able to defend herself amazes me.
Mar 14th, 2008 01:24 PM
Chojin I think the real aim here is to expose the RIAA due to discovery, and anything they can get out of that is just icing on the cake.
Mar 14th, 2008 01:20 PM
El Blanco Good luck. She'd probably be better off forming a class action suit. Isn't there one already with some non-profits running the show?

RIAA Countersued for Malicious Prosecution

"Exonerated RIAA defendant Tanya Andersen is expected to refile her malicious prosecution lawsuit against the RIAA today. The refiling will mark a significant watershed in the RIAA's fight against P2P users because for the first time, the group's tactics, secret agreements, and fee splitting with MediaSentry are likely to come to light, thanks to discovery. Andersen's attorney says he'll be 'digging into agreements between the RIAA, RIAA member companies, MediaSentry, and the Settlement Support Sentry. Part of that will involve looking at compensation, like how much MediaSentry gets from each settlement. "I'd love to know what kind of bounty MediaSentry got paid to supply erroneous identities to the RIAA," Lybeck says.' The judge has barred further motions to dismiss the complaint, which means the RIAA will have to face the music. 'Unlike the thousands of lawsuits filed so far, the RIAA does not have the luxury of walking away from this case if there's a real chance of embarrassing information being released. "Once discovery happens in the cases the RIAA brings, they run," Lybeck says. "This is our case now, and they can't run."'"
Here's hoping she supermans that ho.
