Large Recording Companies vs The Defenceless
The RIAA litigation process in the US has grown out of hand since Napster and this article [pdf] in the Judges Journal outlines the steps that the RIAA has gone to in order to skirt around little things like judicial process and shows some steps that should be taken in order to level the playing field.
