Anti-RIAA Expert Fund Established
The Free Software Foundation has now decided to create a fund (for which it's seeking donations) to help pay for expert witnesses to combat the RIAA's evidence in cases. Lawyer Ray Beckerman, who has been quite vocal in fighting the RIAA will help advise the fund and determine which lawsuits deserve money from the fund for an expert witness. It's really too bad that such a fund is even needed -- and it should (though won't) be a wakeup call to the recording industry to see that so many people are sick of these lawsuits that they would fund such a thing in the first place.
This is fantastic news, and it shows that people are starting to come together to fight against the RIAA. The RIAA may have enormous resources at their disposal, but they can never hope to win against a unified front of millions of Americans who have finally had enough. It's time to stand up and Fight for our freedom like our four-fathers before us.
