"Once the name and address is known and they sue a person in their name, they still have this extremely vague complaint which tells you nothing because they know nothing. They say the defendant downloaded, distributed and/or made available for distribution certain song files. But they have no evidence of any downloading, they have no evidence of any distributing. And at most they can say that someone who might somehow be associated with the ip address might have made some files available. But they certainly don't know that the defendant did.

"...but the judges have no clue. They actually won't even let me talk about it. One of the three motions had no oral argument. And the two that had an oral argument, the judges would not let me speak and kept cutting me off."

From a transcript of Ray Beckerman, a lawyer defending some individuals being sued by the RIAA, talking about the lawsuits. Beckerman is speaking to the organizers of DefictiveByDesign, an anti-DRM campaign.
