The students, of course, never really had a choice, the industry knew it, and the settlements - no more than $17,500 - prove it, each being less than that probable cost of mounting a defense against the RIAA's ridiculous lawsuit. There is no justice when capitulation is the only option available to you, when the instruments of justice - such as the courts and legal support - remain out of your reach because of your meagre means. From beginning to end this case is a travesty and while the RIAA probably thinks it won, it cannot possibly understand the deep, deep anger and resentment that such actions cause.
