I wonder if she didn't respond because she was dead? Try finding an internet savy lawyer in a small town around here. HA! Wonder if that is why so many local lawsuits have been filed? ---------------------------------------------------------- "A Bartow woman must pay $6,420 for eight songs she is accused of downloading and sharing with others on the Internet. In July, the Recording Industry Association of America filed a lawsuit against Christy Lee, of 61 Honeysuckle Road in Cartersville, for the alleged copyright violation. Lee never responded to the lawsuit, so a default judgment was granted against her at $750 per song and $420 in court costs. As evidence in the complaint, the plaintiffs — who include several major record labels — provided documents showing more than 20 pages of music and video files shared using peer-to-peer program Kazaa. The username of the Kazaa files was shown as ChristyLee@Kazaa.com. This suit is only one of the RIAA’s massive lawsuit campaign to crack down on music pirates; several other suits have been filed locally. According to the RIAA, in March more than 7.8 million households in the U.S. illegally downloaded music." Cartersville Woman ordered to pay 6,000 in RIAA lawsuit |
