This is all fun, and I have a big tub of popcorn, but regardless of the epic battle between Harrington & Staley, I have something for Jim Harrington...

I am curious to why when someone shows one of your lawyers a few hundred Sound Choice CDs, and also state that that is maybe 1/3 of their collection, they would respond with something akin to they might have thousands more SC tracks on top of those that are illegal? I thought you tried to help people who have doing "the right thing".

I know you don't believe them because hey.. they media shifted, they are 1000% in the wrong. Awesome!

I'm sure you'll come up with other things to say as well, because your crack research team was so good they some items wrong in the papers... impressive!

But as I don't want to talk about details of the case, but me tell you what you have done to the PERSON:

1) They are lifeless shell of the person they were, seeing them host the show was like watching a ghost.
2) The partner told me that they have a group of friends looking after them because they are too afraid to leave them alone. Its not officially called a suicide watch, because no one wants to think that.
3) They aren't eating, or sleeping. The partner is trying to get them to go get medication to stabilize them to the point where they can function normally.
4) The partner also said that they are concerned about spoilage, because the "guilty" might have messed up the drive during a nervous breakdown. The partner now takes the computer away unless they are working. The partner now thinks that they will lose any case they had.

What did they have to hide? Nothing. I will swear on my own children this person was 100% legal, I went shopping with them at the stores. Why would they want to steal from you? They had plenty of non SC product that worked just fine. They didn't NEED your version if they couldn't get it legally.

Good job wrecking a person who was ON YOUR SIDE! Who was right along side you in terms of being faithful to your company and others, buying YOUR product, supporting YOUR company.

Sadly, as if that isn't enough: The "guilty" believes it is THEIR OWN fault! That they (like me before all this) sided WITH YOU in your efforts to catch people who DESERVED IT. And had they of KNOWN you existed (like so many people who don't read chat boards do), they would have GLADLY paid for an audit! Wow, they are definitely making it easier for YOU to nail them to the wall.

So my Sound Choice CDs are officially out of my collection as of today, as I now have a personal interest in how the case proceeds, and seeing how bad you screw them over when you most likely win for some reason or another.

For the record, they own CB product too, I told the partner about your new "acquisition" of CB trademarks and they let out a slight groan. I told them I will make sure they will know when the legal crap comes down, and even offered to pay for it when it does.

So smile and celebrate! You did some fine work here, ruining a fan of yours and a supporter of you. If anything happens to them, don't worry, I'll send you a copy so maybe you can pin it on the wall or something.

At MrBoo: I am truly sorry to post it anyplace, but I'm so angry/nauseous about it, I had to get it out of my system. This is, by far, one of the nicest people I know, and if you knew them , you would definitely agree with me. And I will be the first to admit it came off more then a little troll like. For that, I apologize to everyone on the board.

At Jim Harrington: No you don't know, because I left out as much detail as I possibly could to protect the person, so anything I post doesn't sink them more.

If your are concerned, please PM me your contact information, I will pass it on to the spouse. I will say it most likely will get passed on to the lawyer. Thank you.

That's not tough at all.

The credibility of a witness is always relevant to a case.

I didn't write the subpoena, so I can't speak directly to the motivations of the attorneys handling the case at that point, but one purpose of discovery is to uncover the biases of witnesses who appear to be independent third parties, when they are in fact not. The requested materials, coupled with your public statements about the company and the people who run it, your self-imposed inability to use content from discs that you own, and your acts undertaken with respect to the SC materials during the period between 2008 and 2013, all go to your own bias, and in the context of a trial, they would certainly be relevant.

Moreover, your role in consulting with the EMI attorney prior to the beginning of the suit--or in fomenting him to continue a baseless suit, since you claim not to have contacted him before the suit was filed--is important information in determining whether the attorney carried out his Rule 11 duties before bringing the suit.

You aren't one of the three I am talking about. I am far from being the post police, and topics can get redirected sometimes. I get it. It's just that almost every thread turns into a litigation war zone.

And in usual form, the thread isn't even in the litigation area!

Actually, it is.

I thought this IS the Legalities section.

Was just put here today.
