How it feels to be sued for $4.5m
,----[ Quote ]
| Then in summer 2008, I arrived home to find a letter addressed to me. The
| return address said "Harvard Law School". Curiously, I opened and read
| it. "My name is Charles Nesson, professor of Law at Harvard. I caught wind of
| your case," it said. "I can be of any assistance, don't hesitate to call." I
| called. Nesson picked up. I said, "Yes, you can be of assistance!" My mom
| drafted a letter to him, summarising where we were. The opening line
| read, "Dear Professor Godsend".

Harvard Prof Calls RIAA Lawsuits “Unconstitutional Abuse of Law”
,----[ Quote ]
| Charles Nesson writes an op-ed piece explaining why RIAA lawsuits targeting
