Legal stuff

[lordshipmayhem]

Want to see a high-powered, high-priced lawyer get his ass handed to him om a plate? Like, maybe the lawyers for the RIAA, the outfit that likes to sue such miscreants as dead people, technophobic grannies and 8-year-olds millions of dollars apiece for illegally downloading a couple of songs on computers they don't have access to? (Well, maybe the dead people do have access to computers. When you're dead, you're dead a LONG time and you have to do something to allay the boredom...)

Enjoy.

By the way, the letter, which cost a princely US$6,880.25, was money well spent. The RIAA backed off post-haste and dismissed the case.

Allparadox, a retired lawyer over at Groklaw and Investor Village's SCOX message board, drew my attention to it. As he puts it, "Mr. Ledford is the kind of lawyer who will tear your leg off and beat you to death with it. This over-prepared document is merely his idea of a letter. Imagine how he will be in court: meticulous preparation and rock-solid procedure will be the standard."

Ok, this was much of teh funny (or rather, "supremely delightful" in case Ginny is reading)! I just wish Ledford's clients pushed for a court action so that the R.I.A.A. could be thoroughly embarrassed, and have the case serve as precedent. Yay for justice!
