I need help i am being sued by the RIAA for downloading stuff off of imesh... i called for the settlement stuff and they want me to pay an outrageous amount in 90 days! it isn't possible for me to pay it... what do i do! i need help!
the law says you are innocent til proven guilty so they have to prove that you were downloading things that you shouldn't have so stand your ground as they are using the guilt trip on you!!
they want me to pay 3k which i don't have and cannot get in the time amount... they say they have lists of all the stuff i had downloaded so i don't know what to do
as ddp said, stand your ground...innocent until proven guilty. make them show you proof of what you've done before you pay.
I am tring to contact a man that works with the EFF... someone told me he could possibly help... but thanks for the advice people... if ya'll get anymore please tell me... Thanks again
damn, dude. that sucks. i wish you the best of luck. if i think of anything that may help, i will. *suddenly thunk* say, i know a thing or two about sniping. and about making people disappear. what's the name of the specific person prosecuting you...the lawyer or officer or executive? do you know? again, good luck.
Hey i got my settlement papers in and i have a question... are they suing me for downloading music off the net or for sharing my downloaded files?
yeah, definately talk to an attorney, but from what I've heard they prosecute you for sharing files over DLing them. its like the difference between buying weed (misdemeanor) and selling weed (felony).
I myself have been sent papers about the RIAA lawsuit. What does the settlement papers say? What did you do and who did you contact to get settlement papers.
I don't know where you live but in Holland the law states that downloading films etc. is not illegal, sharing them is !! so like all the others say, consult your attorney !! best of luck to you !!
