RIAA Decries Texas Woman as 'Vexatious' for Demanding File Sharing Trial

There's a vexatious litigant here alright, but methinks it's not the defendant.

The Recording Industry Association of America is calling a Texas woman "vexatious" for wanting to defend herself at trial against a file sharing charge instead of settling for $7,400. The woman is now a 22-year-old university student, and the allegations concern her use of a file sharing program when she was allegedly between 14 and 16 years old.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
