On the Monday morning of my trial, I met my mother (along with my spokeswoman Debbie, and my defence lawyer professor [...]
Today, the talented and beautiful master of PR and spin for the RIAA, Cara Ducksworth, posted a blog post entitled “Musings on Tenenbaum Case.”
Almost immediately, TechDirt jumped in to correct some misinformed “facts” asserted by the music industry.
