Harvard Law Stands Up Against the RIAA
Thursday, February 5th, 2009ArsTechnica has a great report about a Harvard Law professor who, with the help of some of his students, is fighting the RIAA in court. Professor Nesson came to the defense of Joel Tenenbaum, a Boston University student accused of file sharing by the RIAA, when Joel could not afford the legal fees himself. Nesson is serving as Joel’s official attorney with the majority of the research and prep work being done by his students.
“The students would quickly mount an ambitious defense, not just of Joel Tenenbaum, but of the claim that the RIAA legal campaign was unconstitutionally excessive and improper.”
Pretty awesome stuff if you ask me. Check out the full article here. Also be sure to check out Joel Fights Back, a site launched by the students involved to help spread the word of Joel’s case.
