EFF Argues Against Mass Copyright Lawsuits

Electronic Frontier Foundation is taking action against mass copyright violation lawsuits on the basis that "these suits improperly lump thousands of defendants together, a shortcut that deprives the defendants of fair access to individual justice." It's interesting to note that there are 14,000 people being tried together for illegal downloads, and each download comes with a punishment of $150,000. If you do the math, 14,000 times $150,000 is $210 million! Why, the makes of these movies could retire and never make a movie again and just take people to court and make millions! Cut out your office workers and just have your managerial staff and your lawyers. It's a gold mine, I'm telling ya!
