RIAA Doesn't Like Independent Experts 258

Krishna Dagli writes to tell us Ars Technica is looking at the latest in the comedy of errors that is the RIAA's crusade against supposed pirates. From the article: "As one might expect, Arellanes isn't too keen on the idea of sending her hard drive (PDF) to an RIAA star chamber for examination. Citing the RIAA's numerous missteps in its ill-conceived crusade against music fans, she requests that the court require a "neutral computer forensics expert and a protocol protective of non-relevant and privileged information" be used to conduct the examination."

That's like calling the guy who was attacked by a lion, tossed arond like a rag doll, disemboweled, but let go because he tasted bad a 'winner'. Sure, it's technically true, as he didn't get eaten, but that's really a small comfort for the guy. I bet he doesn't feel like a winner. ;)

Yeah, but then the guy can have a t-shirt made that says 'winner' with a picture of a lion [weebls-stuff.com] on it, and for the rest of his life he can bask in the glory of his conversation-piece t-shirt, making him very popular at social gatherings and allowing him to get over his latent social anxieties. I am sure there is some decent, similar t-shirt option for an RIAA lawsuit. ok I'll shut up now.

It's like a bad poker game.

RIAA bets 1 bogus charge
Defendant raises 1 "let me see your evidence"
RIAA sees "let me see your evidence" and raises 1 "give me your hard drive"
Defendant raises 1 countersuit
RIAA folds.

Oh, I thought it was a reference to Siegfried and Roy. [wikipedia.org] But either way, it is not really in good.. taste.

How about, "I got sued by the RIAA and all I have left is this lousy t-shirt."
