RIAA Lawyers Bully Witnesses Into Perjury
Posted by Jeremy Charette in "NEWS" @ 05:00 PM
"The RIAA sued the Nelsons, who in turn are basically asking for the case to be dismissed and their legal fees reimbursed, because the RIAA lawyers got the testimonies they wanted from some witnesses through coercion and/or extortion. The transcript of the deposition that followed this motion gives us a glimpse into exactly how far the recording industry is willing to go to justify their crusade against file sharing."
These are the slip-ups I've been waiting for. I knew eventually the RIAA would go so far as to clearly violate the law, in an attempt to extort money from otherwise innocent consumers. Now I'd like to see a consumer advocacy group be backed by enough finances to really scare the RIAA out of it's wits, just as they've done to so many thousands of their customers.
