Sorry Bill, that is a bunch of bullcrap.

I have had intellectual property stolen and I found out that unless you have a lot of money to begin with it is near impossible to get anything. ... and then if you do win, it is impossible to collect.

The only reason those RIAA folks got a judgement like this is that they are rich to begin with.

The only way I would ever even consider suing someone for copyright infringement is if I heard my song being played on the radio by a star making lots of money. Would I win -- those things are hard to predict. Not only do I have to prove copyright infringement, I have to prove access.

The bottom line -- we really don't have any protection under the copyright laws. The record companies might, but we don't.
