The RIAA vs. 19 Year Old Cancer Patient
,----[ Quote ]
| Among the RIAA's latest targets in its campaign to sue its customer base into
| submission is a 19-year-old cancer patient. Ciaro Sauro was ruled a music
| pirate after failing to defend herself in court against charges from the RIAA
| that she was sharing music files online. Ms. Sauro has said she couldn't
| defend herself as she is hospitalized once a week, and vehemently denies the
| allegations that she is a pirate.

Why the RIAA will lose in Court
,----[ Quote ]
| Throughout history, major steps in the progress of nations have come about
| through landmark court cases. Whether we take the Dreyfus’s case in France,
| or the slew of court decisions in the United States in the 60s to end racial
| prejudice, we see that when public opinion reaches a boiling point, then the
| law itself changes in a rational way to accommodate the new sense of right
| and wrong.
