Yeah, so they sued him for internet piracy. He responded by accusing them of violating antitrust laws, making extortionate threats, and conspiring to defraud the courts.

Yeah, they had this coming.

It was so much better when the RIAA was a non-profit organisation back in the 1970s.

Needless to say, they completely deserve to be trashed for what they've done.

They got their just desserts. I am glad they are suffering for their ignorance.

You don't want to mess with the IRAA. they'll sue you if you burn that CD/R...

But yes this is good news. If you sue enough people one of them is going to bite you in the as eventualy.

It's not a big deal. Everyone misposts crap here and there.

The kid's got spunk, but the RIAA is going to crush him like an insect and suck out all of his vital fluids.

Hoho. Reminds me of the time the RIAA and the MPAA sent me letters via my ISP within a few days of each other. I sent them back, with "do not threaten me with American laws, perhaps you should hire better lawyers" scribbled in black marker on the front.

Never heard back from them.

I don't see where anything has changed. Now, if the RIAA actually goes to trial on any of these charges, that might amount to a small victory.
