However, he’s not afraid to tweak the facts a little, or tell outright lies, for that matter. At one point he states that the fine is “$250,000 per infraction” which is a complete lie. As regular readers and followers of US copyright infringement cases know, the maximum damages that can be awarded per infraction is $150,000 not $250,000 (USC Title 17, § 504 (c)(2)). The most they have managed to get in these cases is $9,250, but even that turned out to be too much. [...]

Kai JAV ?raš? industrijos advokatai pasišov? paduoti ? teism? vis? pasaul? (pirmiausiai – JAV), atrod?, kad nedaug kas gali jiems sukliudyti – juk pagal galiojan?ius ?statymus iš tikr?j? vis? Žem? galima pasodinti. Ta?iau b?tent d?l tokio humaniško užmojo RIAA veikla ir ?m? strigti – teis?jams visiškai nepatinka tai, kad kaltinimai yra nekonkret?s, reikalaujamos kompensacijos sumos – beprotiškos, o apkrovos teis?saugos institucijoms – nepateisinamai didel?s. Pasak pa?i? teis?j?, jie ir taip turi darbo per akis su kur kas rimtesniais nusikaltimais. Taip prasid?jo juodosios RIAA dienos: [...]

I would view a lawsuit against me for downloading anything as a violation of my privacy (I don’t give a shit about the legal meaning of privacy btw)

And find out EVERY SINGLE NAME I COULD that was against me.
Starting with their lawyers then working my way up…

I’d start finding out all the information I could about them.

Then I’d post EVERYTHING I FOUND IN THE PUBLIC MEDIUM. With the simple message “These ass holes SUE CHILDREN AND GRANDMA’S”

Post their first and last names, home addresses license plates cars whatever I could dig up.

With a simple message:They live HERE. Bored with nothing to do on Hallowen? GO FUCK WITH THESE PEOPLE. Here’s their home addresses here’s what car they drive… Make em suffer…

Have a fun Halloween and Mischief Night, Assholes.

What “Observers”, exactly?
RIAA scumbag-sympathizers?

Don’t trust ANY article or story which relies on obfuscations such as “scientists say” or “observers believe” or similar. Wikipedia describes that as “weasel words”, and — rightly — views it as indicative of, at the very least, sloppy reporting.
