On Dobbs, radio host claimed HUD said "about 5 million illegal alien home mortgage loans ... have gone bad," but HUD reportedly says stat is bogus

Summary: On Lou Dobbs Tonight, Roger Hedgecock claimed that the Department of Housing and Urban Development "was talking about 5 million illegal alien home mortgage loans that have gone bad." But Hedgecock did not cite a source for the purported HUD statistic. In fact, an article published more than an hour before Lou Dobbs Tonight aired reported that HUD "says there is no basis to news reports that more than 5 million bad mortgages are held by illegal immigrants" and that "a HUD spokesman said his agency has no data showing the number of illegal immigrants holding foreclosed or bad mortgages."

There is a college student in Texas who has been battling RIAA in one of the organization’s lawsuits against copyright infringement. The student was found guilty of illegal filesharing and downloads through Kazaa when she was just 16. She has pled guilty to illegal downloads but has asserted an “innocent infringement” defense alleging that she didn’t know that she was doing anything illegal. RIAA fought the defense with the argument that there are copyright notices on the CDs sold in stores and therefore that she should have known that she was violating copyright laws.
