RIAA Gets Greedier

Ars Technica has a report about the latest RIAA strategy to get people to pay up instead of fighting the lawsuits. Now, students who feel (I dare say rightly so in most cases) that they’re being bullied by the RIAA in one of their many copyright infringement suits, had better have their shiny new 0 balance transfer credit card handy because it’s going to cost them.
They’ve decided that if you just knuckle under and pay up their blackmailing bully tactics you can get off with a measely $3,000. However if you have the gall to decide that paying these goons is the wrong thing to do because they’ve got no business trying to rake innocent people over the coals over music that the RIAA doesn’t own… Well, then it’s going to cost $8,000 … unless of course the judge is a sane person with their head on straight, in which case you’ll win and the RIAA will get awarded a steaming bowl of what they deserve
