KNOW YOUR JURY RIGHTS DEFEAT THE RIAA IN COURT
DEFEND YOURSELF IN COURT FROM THE RIAA
THE JURY ACTS AS THE FOURTH BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT
Judges and Lawyers won't tell you about The Principle of Jury Nullification.
Jurors have the right to judge the law as well as the facts of a case.

Also among the defendants is Mediasentry, the company that harvests IP-
addresses of alleged copyright infringers. Previously, Mediasentry’s
investigation tactics were deemed illegal in several states because it
operated without the appropriate and required paperwork. This is one
of the many offenses being used in the present claim.

description of the RIAA’s practices
…[through] concerted efforts and cartels, control or attempt to
control the channels of creation, distribution, and sale of musical
works throughout the United States and the world. They are not
artists, songwriters, or musicians. They did not write or record the
songs. For a number of years, a group of large, multinational, multi-
billion dollar record companies, including these [record labels], have
been abusing the federal court judicial system for the purpose of
waging a public relations and public threat campaign targeting digital
file sharing activities.

To us, this indeed seems to be a fairly accurate description, but it’s
only the start. As we’ve outlined before, the RIAA tends to target the
weak, and aim for an early settlement of a few thousand dollars.

As part of this campaign of their sham litigation program, the
[record labels] enhance the intimidation factor by actually filing
suit in a number of instances with no prior warning. These suits are
designed to attract media attention, and often do, as stories emerge
of [record labels'] suits against the elderly, disabled,
technologically clueless, and other vulnerable victims. Many of these
victims have no idea how to operate a computer, let alone how to
install and use peer-to-peer networking software to exchange music
they would not likely be listening to anyway. But actual innocence is
rarely a consideration to the [record labels].

And

[The record labels’] litigation campaign, its preceding demands,
and illegal investigations, are part of a concerted pattern of sham
litigation. The [record labels'] true purpose is not to obtain the
relief claimed in its sham litigation, but to intimidate, harass, and
oppress the defendant targets and other users of computer networks.

EMI and its associated companies recently sued Seeqpod and Favtape — and its management investors — in a case alleging direct, vicarious, contributory copyright infringement, as well as inducing copyright infringement.
