This is very fucked up right here.

Egads. So the RIAA ruins his whole life for something perfectly legal (ie search engine), only for intimidation and for a measly $12,000, a small amount compared to their billions? All this just to make them get off his case???
This is revolting!
Faust:
Yeah I would very much like to hear someone justify this bullshit. Honestly ninety percent of the legal proffesion are filthy vultures that need to be put down for the good of society. Their corporate masters arent any better either. It's sad to think that I live in a system that would do this kind of bullshit. Fuck the RIAA.
Faust:
In the law courses at my university there is not one course on ethics. They wonder why people don't trust them? The first semester of course is on torts - torts is "lawyerspeak" for suing people. In fact one of the exam questions gave a full account of some ladies day, detailing various mishaps, before asking the students to write an exam question on "who (detail why) could Mrs Brown sue?"
Filth.

Sister was in a fender bender. Spent a short time in the hospital just as a precaution. Lawyers were calling asking how she was feeling the next day.
