Re:Legally, WE'RE the ones who are wrong. (Score 1)

It's absolutely true that they were trying to deny the RIAA's right to sue. That's because there is no *legitimate* right for them to sue in the first place because the DMCA is a terrible, unconstitutional peace of legislation. Your reasoning that the RIAA has a right to sue and the EFF is wrong for trying to deny them that right is like saying that person A has a right to own slaves and person B wrong to deny him. This is how legal challenges to crappy legislation are brought: by introducing two ostensibly legitimate positions in court and having them adjudicated. Somebody could lose their rights, even their right to sue. Also keep in mind that EFF was looking for a declaratory judgement, a *clarification* of the law. It's not like they were chasing after them with sticks and trying to extract exorbitant damages.
