"In a rare outburst of subjectivity, I commenced my blog post 'Ha ha ha ha ha' when reporting that, based upon the RIAA's disclosure form for 2008, it had paid its lawyers more than $16,000,000 to recover $391,000. If they were doing it to 'send a message,' the messages have been received loud & clear: (1) the big four record labels are managed by idiots; (2) the RIAA's law firms have as much compassion for their client as they do for the lawsuit victims; (3) suing end users, or alleged end users, is a losing game. I don't know why p2pnet.net begrudges the RIAA's boss his big compensation; he did a good job... for the lawyers."

Wondering how long before they run out of business... Seriously, who the hell didn't link the fees contracts with the success rate?
 
Lol... Was it Brown doing the finance balance for the RIAA, or was it Alistair?

That is a major flop in every sence, but it sure gave the lawyers a nice wad. I wonder how they're gonna make up for the money spent and lost, because that aint a small digit, since they have to make up more than 32x(what they got back). Manic!
