RIAA to 'punish' lawyer for fighting lawsuits

The RIAA has filed a motion (PDF) in an attempt to silence an outspoken lawyer defending the targets of its anti-piracy lawsuits. Calling many of his actions "overzealous," the American music industry group accuses New York attorney Ray Beckerman of frustrating its attempts to sue Marie Lindor and other defendants for allegedly sharing music online and violating individual music labels' copyrights.

Suggestion: Don't Sue Google For $50 Billion Over Something It's Not Liable For

We see all sorts of ridiculous lawsuits floating around, but here's a good one. Eric Goldman has the story of a journalist who was upset about a story written by a local college professor. The journalist felt the story was defamatory, so obviously, he sued Google for $50 billion. Yes, you read that correctly. Pissed off journalist feels that he was defamed by someone totally unconnected to Google... and responds by suing Google for $50 billion. Not surprisingly, the court wasted no time tossing this lawsuit out, and then even slapped the journalist with an order to pay Google's $12,000 in legal fees. The order to pay those legal fees was later removed on a technicality, but as Goldman notes, it appears that judges are getting pretty sick of these sorts of lawsuits, and are finally beginning to punish folks who are filing them.

RIAA Exec Jumps To The ESA: Expect Lawsuits Against Video Gamers

You would think that anyone taking an objective look at the RIAA would recognize what a complete disaster the organization has been over the past decade. It's fought off every new innovation in the marketplace (remember, it tried to kill off mp3 players as illegal), alienated a huge number of its biggest customers and failed to do much to actually get the industry in a position to capitalize on new distribution and promotional methods created by the internet. In other words, it's done plenty to hurt the industry while doing almost nothing to help it. You would think that might make folks in similar organizations think twice about hiring execs from the RIAA, but perhaps not.

DVD ripper launches, followed by traditional exchange of lawsuits

Anytime you even tiptoe near the turf of the entertainment industry, the alarms go off, the security lights go on, and the cry of “Release the hounds� goes up, so RealNetworks knew what it was in for today when it launched RealDVD, a program that lets users copy copy-protected movies to a PC hard drive. Mere minutes after the software went on sale, Real sicced its own pack of legal beagles on the DVD Copy Control Association and the major studios, asking a federal court to preemptively declare that what the program does is perfectly legal. That move was followed immediately by that which it sought to preempt — a suit filed by the studios seeking to block the sale of the software on the grounds that it violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Universities Realize That The RIAA Is Taking Advantage Of Them In Lawsuits On Students

We never quite understood why various universities were cooperating with RIAA demands that it send "pre-litigation" letters to students accused of file sharing. These non-binding letters are often used to pressure students into paying fines, even if they're based on weak (at best) evidence of file sharing. It certainly wasn't in any university's best interests to basically help out a private organization in a business model dispute with its students. Yet, some university officials, falsely convinced by the RIAA that this was more than a business model dispute, decided to help out. And the response? The RIAA has increased the flood of notices, and then convinced Congress to move forward on legislation that would legally obligate universities to act as the RIAA's copyright cops.
