RIAA Bullies Witnesses Into Perjury 385
QT writes "A Michigan couple is counter-suing the RIAA after they learned that the RIAA had bullied their witnesses into
lying. The story revolves around a 15-year-old girl who, when deposed, told how RIAA lawyers told her that she had to commit perjury just so they could win their case. From the
article: 'Q - Did [the RIAA lawyer] tell you why he needed you to stick with your original false story? A - Because he said he didn't have a case unless I did. Q - So, he told
you that he didn't have a case unless you stuck with the original false story?'"

Civil disobedience. I like that thought. File downloading and sharing as protest. Protected First Amendment speech. Bring on the ACLU!
Wouldn't that be a W00t!

I could have sworn that you ask a judge to dismiss a case, you don't just do it yourself.

That's a completely unfair allegation. I'm sure that very few members of the RIAA eat babies on a regular basis.
