Make no mistake: Joel fought back.
Together with a group of passionate, dedicated Harvard Law students and their professor, this lawsuit was about more than just money. It was also about the fact that Joel fought back on behalf of a generation that hasn’t been able to defend itself against the well-paid lawyers who [...]
Hi Guys,
I’ve dissected the day’s best talking points from the RIAA at
http://e-c-t.ca/blog/?p=138 - I hope some of these points are stressed by the defense when their turn comes up, because right now I’ve yet to see concrete evidence provided by the RIAA.
Keep your chins up!

“This is me. I used the computer. I did it.”
As I’m sure you’ve heard, today has been a long day. Although quite a few people took the stand, when Joel took the stand today, he was flat out asked:

– Dr. Doug Jacobson, a technology expert from Iowa State University

Anecdotes and thoughts from today’s trial.
Professor Nesson rearranges the courtroom. Professor Nesson did not like the standard court layout as “rhetorical space,” so with permission of the judge, the defendent table now faces the jurors from across the room, while the plaintiffs remain facing front.
Debbie Rosenbaum granted acceptance. Harvard Law sought to remove Debbie, the [...]

To a certain extent, I’m afraid to write this. Though they’ve already seized my computer and copied my hard drive, I have no guarantee they won’t do it again. For the past four years, they’ve been threatening me, making demands for trial, deposing my parents, sisters, [...]
Over the last few days, we’ve received dozens — if not hundreds — of letters and notes of support (and some not!). We’d like to take a moment and give you all credit and thanks. Below are just a few of the e-mails we received today.
Today, we also raised more money than we have ever [...]
