RIAA Takes Aim At Blogging Attorney
Demands that troublemaking blogger/attorney be punished...

Over the last few years, attorney Ray Beckerman has been defending
broadband users accused of copyright infringement by the RIAA, and
frequently blogs about it. His blog frequently highlights instances
where the RIAA has sued individuals in error, often highlighting the
tenuous legal ground many RIAA cases rest on. The RIAA is now targeting
Beckerman, claiming he's a "vexatious" litigator, and demanding
unspecified monetary sanctions to punish him for blogging about his
cases.
Update: "I've already had 7,500 visitors to my blog and people are
offering to send me financial contributions," Beckerman tells P2PNet.

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attached at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt. I guess you missed that one."
