  1. Comment - RIAA Piracy Damages Questioned in Ruling

    and I'm sure in 90% of RIA's cases, isn't even *aware* a suit is in progress.

    This is the part I have the biggest problem. Reverse Class Action Suit FTW....lol

    Is there such a thing?

    Even if they file on behalf of the author, wouldnt it need to be seperate lawsuits for each work of art?

  2. Comment - RIAA Piracy Damages Questioned in Ruling

    Pc_Tool is correct about the copyright law violation fine being set for a minimum of 750$. The only issue I see with this is that the law states the author may seek this fine. Not sure how the RIAA becomes "The Author" in every instance of a song downloaded. When you create any entity, and get it copyrighted, does the RIAA automatically become the author of your work? Or does every single person willingly sign over all authorship rights to the RIAA? Sure the record label may purchase the rights, but how does the RIAA as an organization become the owner? Now if the actual other of the piece of work wishes to sue, well so be it. So basically if every artist wants to file all the paperwork for every person downloading one of their songs, then so be it. Which I highly doubt would happen, who likes paperwork? lol But the RIAA should not be able to combine them all together. Again this is because the Copyright law states the author may seek the fine, not an Organization the author belongs to.

    Hrm, After the upcoming laptop battery lawsuit, I dont think Sony can ever handle a 100 million loss. Considering they will already be losing a couple billion.

    "say "I'd like a Coke" when all they mean is a soda, be it pepsi or actually coke."

    Speaking of this, did Coke (Coca Cola) sue Pepsi Cola?

    "Apples and oranges. The 'mercury' element is not owned by any single person or company - no one profits."

    Btw there is a car insurance company called Mercury. I dont think Ford sued them.
