According to RIAA guidelines, that's damages of $150,000 per episode, so $9,000,000. Ahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJC1000rr Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 If it doesn't, that sets a pretty good precedent in court for all defense cases. And could give ammo to others that have been sued to resue RIAA for violation of its own terms on a class action level.As for what I feel will probably happen is an internal investigation into who actually downloaded the episodes and RIAA will sue that person for the damages.

Cheech Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 As for what I feel will probably happen is an internal investigation into who actually downloaded the episodes and RIAA will sue that person for the damages.IANAL.I don't think that's going to fly here, as I recall a pillar of the RIAA's bulk cases in John Doe discovery was whoever had the ISP account at that time was ultimately responsible for the content downloaded from that account. Sure they could conduct an internal investigation and find the guy that did this (if their DHCP records go back that far) but unless that guy had a cell connection that he paid for direct to his PC the premise still stands.Sweet, sweet schadenfreude.
