RIAA Decries Attorney-Blogger as 'Vexatious' Litigator
,----[ Quote ]
| The RIAA said Beckerman, one of the nation's few attorneys who defends
| accused file sharers, "has maintained an anti-recording industry blog during
| the course of this case and has consistently posted virtually every one of
| his baseless motions on his blog seeking to bolster his public relations
| campaign and embarrass plaintiffs," the RIAA wrote (.pdf) in court
| briefs. "Such vexatious conduct demeans the integrity of these judicial
| proceedings and warrants this imposition of sanctions."

| history of proposing laws that favour security forces' demands for snooping.
