9/8     Prompted by the RIAA and their filesharer lawsuits-- is there a
        way for the victims to short-circuit the process, maybe
        Donate all assets to the EFF, declare bankruptcy and avoid paying
        the settlement?
        \_ a friend of mine had an interesting idea. a legal DDOS attack:
           if a million people all filed different, small,  suits
           against the RIAA about some bullshit, the net effect could
           be devastating...or could it? i don't know if this could work,
           but it's an interesting idea.
           \_ This sort of bullshit noise is made by some clown every so often.
              The courts are just going to throw everyone out before seeing a
              judge.  If it does anything, it will simply clog the small courts
              and prevent _real_ people with _real_ problems from using them.
              Boo fucking hoo on the music pirates getting destroyed.  Prices
              are too high or the music sucks?  Don't buy it.  Donating all of
              one's wealth to the EFF is *the* most stupid thing I think I
              might have *ever* heard on the motd.  You're going to go to zero
              wealth because the RIAA *might* take you to court?  Sheer idiocy.
