RIAA lawsuit victim loses appeal

Cecilia Gonzalez, 29, has lost an appeal against a decision by an earlier District Court hearing that awarded $22,500 damages to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). She was accused of downloading and sharing copyrighted music on P2P networks, and is only one of many thousand U.S. P2P users that have been sued. She claimed that she was only downloading the music to sample it and that if she liked it, she would have bought it at a later date.

However, the appeals court wasn't convinced. "A copy downloaded, played and retained on one's hard drive for future use is a direct substitute for a purchased copy," the judges said. "Gonzalez' argument is no more relevant than a thief's contention that he shoplifted only 30 compact discs, planning to listen to them at home and pay later." Her lawyer had contested that she hadn't broken any copyright laws by sampling the music.



She had rejected a $3,500 settlement offered by the RIAA's settlement centre earlier on and the case was taken to court. She apparently downloaded and distributed at least 30 tracks. She was fined $750 per track.

  Ya know, it's better to research means of protection when you put music on your hard drive, regardless of whether or not you own it or not, the RIAA is gonna come after ya if you're connected to a P2P network. It's inevitable..
  
  So, my advice to those out there that wish to continue this, is to buy something like O&O SafeErase, and with a flick of the right hand click....it will overwrite/delete your music file with a 35 wipe method no trained RIAA monkey is gonna waste time on trying to recover any evidence.....
  
  Happy Music listening!!!

  It's very doubtful that she was caught for downloading the music, but for the subsequent sharing that took place afterwards. She may have lost, but fortunately, at least she didn't lose after claiming innocence. Still waiting for those cases where innocent victims get to show just how unreliable the RIAA's methods are and make their sue-em-all cases dissolve right in front of them.

  I wonder how they figured to charge $750 a song and not the $1 that it costs to download them plus court costs???
  Quote:...it will overwrite/delete your music file with a 35 wipe method no trained RIAA monkey...Love that Guttman!! Yeah, that's the way to go. Also, do not think that Formatting will hide anything. I recovered a complete hard drive that was formatted using $200 software. It also recovered some stuff from a previous OS that was installed.
  
  If you think you are in trouble, Peter Gutman everything on your hard drive. Then when you are finished, Peter Guttman the free space. Sure it will take a long time, but it's worth it!!!

Same even if you burn it or put a giant magnet on it. The only way to securely destroy evidence is with the 35 pass Guttman method and if they are willing to spend the money, they can still find data on the HDD.
  
  However, if they are at the door, then that would be the best way to go. Actually, I would keep some rubbing alcohol (or gasoline) and matches neer the computer and just set the whole thing on fire and hope they are not willing to use microscopes to scan for data (after it is smashed to pieces that is). I would also destory the RAM and CPU as well as the BIOS chip.
  
  What do I care about a $2,000 loss from the PC being destroyed, the joy of destruction is more than enough!!!

• llongtheD

  If she is actually financially strapped, maybe she should just file for bankruptcy. Leave those fuckers holding the bag. You know what they say, you can't get blood out of a turnip. If she were to agree to a payment plan, with interest, for the next 10 or 20 years over 100 songs, now that would be a travesty of justice.

• PirateDan

  Again if the RIAA wants to stop the Pirates, here is clue free and on me this time.
  When the artist makes a CD's put more than 2-3 good songs on it.
  And stop charging me $20 for those 3 hits.
  Again just look at what they want her to pay for the songs on her hard drive. $750 per track you can see what kind of reality they live in.
  They wish they could charge that for the CD's themselves.
  What is their cut from sales and what do the artists get???
  Then you will see who is the real Pirates.

• Oopsla

  Haven't you heard they made claiming bankruptsy a thing of the past. You can't go that route.
  
  Burn my hardrive? yeah right.
  
  The moral of the story is grab but don't share unless you burn disks for friends. My guess is you have RIAA lackys grabbing music from P2P and then tracing. After they get a magic number coming from anyone harddrive they file paperwork. As for the 750 per track, that pays for the lacky having to listen to all those crappy songs he just downloaded.
  
  Personally I would head for the gun closet. Who I aim at is any ones guess. But I won't say.
  
  

  13.12.2005 06:17 #15

• Morph416

  Agreed. However, you take the risk either way...as far as sharing goes, don't bother if you don't have the balls to give a little. Ya can't just keep taking...
  
  Two things to also keep in mind:
  
  External media. It's affordable, and transportable. Keep your music/movies OFF your main system. Setup your P2P to NOT use the automated 'My Sharing' folder, and stash your cache of media on an external device.
  
  The RIAA, or MPAA...isn't just gonna show up on your doorstep unless you have an ISP that doesn't care about being sued themselves. You "should" get a cease and desist order, or at least get notified by your ISP to stop. This is your wake up call...use it wisely. Get caught after this point, and you've given the rest of us a right to laugh at your dumb ass.
  
  The last thing...what happens in court? Two sides show up and debate until a settlement is reached. What happens when only one side shows up? 9/10 times, the settlement goes in favor of the party that was there. Same goes for legislation....the RIAA/MPAA is in court with little to no resistance from this side of the tracks...so get on your letters and emails to your legislators in your home town, and get pushing for backup rights, and rights to share what you own.

Like I've posted before, ducking and hiding is not the solution on our end, because they see/feel NO resistance from us. They'll keep coming, and we keep running? Anyone else getting tired of going from Kazaa, to Morpheus, to WinMX to Limewire, to Warez, to Peer Guardian?.....to?????
  
  That's what I am saying...Peer Guardian may be in front of those not yet investigated, but it's known to them, and will eventually be targeted. There are extremely intelligent people on both sides of this dilemma, and it's time to stop playing games and settle into something more realistic.

Dowloanding damages with an admission would be extremely low, in this case $30
  
  This high award is for distibuting damages which could easily be shown to be a 1,000 times retail.
  Quote:Anyone ever work retail what do they tell you to do about theft? NOTHING its not worth the PR sh*t storm,What? Not true in any of quite a number of retail outlets I maganaged when I was younger.
  
  Everyone is ignoring a basic fact. If every song got onto p2p and there were no technical or legal impediments no one could sell a thing. I disgree with a lot of RIAA tactics but the fact is unimpeeded p2p would completely kill the digital ip business and we all know it.

  Quote:Are you sure cause the DOD (Department of Defense) Standard is seven passes and gutenburg is thiry five. I would trust that the DOD isnt letting their data be recovered.Here is a quote regarding the 35 pass maethod:
  Quote:Data overwritten once or twice may be recovered by subtracting what is expected to be read from a storage location from what is actually read. Data which is overwritten an arbitrarily large number of times can still be recovered provided that the new data isn't written to the same location as the original data (for magnetic media), or that the recovery attempt is carried out fairly soon after the new data was written (for RAM). For this reason it is effectively impossible to sanitise storage locations by simple overwriting them, no matter how many overwrite passes are made or what data patterns are written. However by using the relatively simple methods presented in this paper (the 35 pass method) the task of an attacker can be made significantly more difficult, if not prohibitively expensive.Read the paper to see why the 35 pass method is more effective:

  @Morph416:
  You didn't quite seem to understand what PeerGuardian is. :P It's an IP blocker that blocks connections to known anti-P2P IP addresses, and it works with any P2P network that uses TCP/UDP to communicate (so basically, everything).

  @ S2K
  Good point i failed to think of the distribution of the songs which yes can be very large. However i disagree with your second statement the larger business's such as bestbuy lowes walmart and so forth target a vast majority of there security at there employees, not the consumer. smaller businesses i would imagine to be less willing to accept minor losses with a smaller profit margin so they would probably be more balenced. I am curious though in your training with the outlets what did they instruct you to do in the case that you see someone pocket a cd or dvd etc?
  
  You raise a good point P2P has the potential to kill the business itself but that does not mean it will its possible, maybe even probable. so yes P2P can potential back fire by putting our favorite artists out of the game.
  
  Here is my personall issue i will not pay 15 for a cd that has 3 good songs and 12 fillers and yes even in the business they are known as fillers a handfull of chart toppers and the rest are crap. Any artist producer or label that thinks they can pull that should be forcibly removed from the gene pool. My other issue sheer gread. a dvd costs the same as a cd, now if eminem is dropping 350 million to make his last cd then thats one thing, but hes not. Oh and lets not forget that the artist themselves the poor poor artists, their primary income is from concerts and appearences and endorsments; the label and the producers take the lions share from cd sales. I dont feel like i want to support kenya west (a long time producer) maintaining his american express black card.
  @ JaguerGod
  mmm well ill be damned, i didnt read that link dont have the time but i will thats interesting
  
  @ anyone talking about PG2
  it is a software based firewall simple as that the problem is that ever IP address it blocks you can download so the enemy can all too easily see what IP's PG2 is blocking and use one it doesnt block
  
  

  14.12.2005 08:34 #30

• nonoitall

  PeerGuardian is by no means infallible, but having it is better than not having it. There's no way for an 'enemy' to 'do the exact opposite' and somehow cancel out the fact that you blocked their connection. Once a connection is blocked, it's blocked. An anti-P2P group can't develop some kind of sneaky software that allows them to connect from an IP address that's on the list - it just doesn't work (unless it's spyware that exists on the same machine as PeerGuardian, but we've all seen the result of the recording industry using spyware against their customers). Like rsims17 said, they can use an IP address that's not on the list, but that IP address will only remain off the list for so long. Long story short, PeerGuardian may not make it impossible for them to catch you, but it does make it harder.

  "Haven't you heard they made claiming bankruptsy a thing of the past. You can't go that route."
  -This is false. It is harder to file now but not impossible. They changed the requirements that is all.
  
  For those of you saying you'd destroy your hdds if the FBI were at the door I doubt you'd have time to do anything. Also, they only need evidence of you IP address downloading/updating to prosecute you so even if you did destroy the data you'd still be screwed.
  
  As for PG2 it does stop people from connecting to you but what if you are using bittorrent? Anyone who connects to the tracker can see who else is downloading without even connecting to you.

  14.12.2005 16:26 #33

• nonoitall

  That's true and they'd probably try and sue you over it, but that's where the unreliable techniques of the recording industry come into view. With only your IP address, there's no way they can prove that you are uploading and/or downloading anything. Meaning if the case actually went to court they'd have nothing but digital hearsay - a log of a tracker that said your IP address was part of the torrent. Unless they actually connect to you and download off you, they have no true evidence that you've uploaded anything.

  Growing up I bought a huge collection of vinyl records. Then, all of a sudden, when I needed a new record player and receiver, all of them made my vinyl records sound really bad. Appears that something called a 'subsonic filter' made just to keep your vinyl records sounding good was removed. Oh well, guess what? 8 Track players had just come out. Ok, sold the vinyl and got all 8 tracks. Guess what? Came a day when 8 Track players were no longer available. Old one dead. Not to worry, Cassette had just come out. Sold my 8 Tracks and again bought my music collection in Cassette form.
  Well, guess what? Cassettes have a 'lifespan' that is quite short. There came a day when they all started going 'bad'. NOT TO WORRY!!! CD's had just come out. Well, I ended up having to throw out all the cassettes, and started to re-buy for the FOURTH TIME my music collection. However, something snapped. I had had it. Had a cable installer tell me about Napster (back when it was free), and I have never looked back. After buying my music FOUR TIMES, I really don't feel bad about P2P at all. I DO pay for Christian Music CD's, but all the oldies stuff that I bought 4 times is P2P.

Can i be a smart a** instead of childish :)
