class action

Mr.Nesson

First, let me applaud you on your stance against the riaa. My daughter is a student at Case Western. She as also received a letter demanding $4100. before Jan. 19 or face legal action. Since the school did not fight the request and handed over the students i.p addresses. They have referred her to an attorney. When she contacted him he wanted $5000 for a retainer. 21 students received the letters, that’s over $100,000. My wife is an employee of the school which is the only way we could afford to send her there. I understand you cannot give legal advice,(I have spoken to Mr. Beckerman in N.Y). I can scrape together the $4100 to keep her out of court, Do you feel I will have any recourse to recover anything once you win your case and declare this witch-hunt unconstitutional ?

Good luck and stick it to those greedy !@$#@!

joel is prepared to stand as a representative for the class of all on whom the oppression of the recording industry’s litigation campaign has fallen. i, together with my students, am prepared to represent him in that capacity, and thus to represent you. we are working on the preparation or our class action counterclaim as we speak.
