RIAA Targets Seven Tennessee Residents
In the latest news that appeared yesterday from the Knoxville News Sentinel, seven Tennessee residents have been named in the most recent lawsuits from the RIAA against music pirates. The Tennessee lawsuits include a Sevierville woman, two filed in the U.S. District Court in Nashville, two in Memphis, one in Knoxville.
This is a new lawsuit separate from the suit that offers a settlement to UT students who must agree to the settlement by Monday or face a lawsuit. If I were accused of illegal downloading I would not settle with those bottom feeders known as the RIAA because of the numerous technological and practical ways to proof innocence in court. I would take them to court, win the case and counter sue them for millions of dollars. Consider the following quote from the News Sentinel article:
At UT, the university’s network administrators compare the IP address and time stamp with their own records to determine the offending user. But the system is far from foolproof.
Maybe we can get one of our crazy politicians to write some ridiculous piece of legislation that can keep Tennesseans from getting sued by the RIAA.
