Beyond, the concept that the courts can seize such vast assets and award them to another is a prime example of cruel and unusual punishment. Again, trying to find some example from the time of the founding fathers where a court had the ability to seize not just one lifetime's accumulation of income, but multiple generations, is beyond any reality.
The price today to download legally 25 songs is under $25, or for a $15 fee, you have unlimited access to vast libraries of media. I'm not a supporter of theft, so I'm completely against the RIAA, those in Congress who violated the constitution in awarding these extravagant protections, and the courts overreaching their charge.
Because the biggest theft of all is being committed by the RIAA.
There's a singular solution which would fix all these problems. Limit copyright for ethereal creations and ideas to a five year protected period. The moment that's passed, you'll see the industry flock to making media access affordable, easy and an end to these endless John and Jane Doe lawsuits.
Wasn’t it the RIAA who sued a mom & pop antique store because they played a radio?
They really do reach.
