RIAA Santangelo Case 'Settled In Principle' 94
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "The RIAA's long-running war against Patti Santangelo, her children, and even her children's schoolmates has been 'settled in principle,' with final settlement documents expected to be submitted by March 18th. Patti Santangelo is believed to be the first RIAA defendant to have made a motion to dismiss the RIAA's 'making available' complaint. The case first caught the attention of the Slashdot community back in 2005, when a transcript of Ms. Santangelo's first court appearance became available online. The case attracted national attention in December of 2005. According to the Associated Press report of the settlement, neither side was able to comment on the terms of the settlement."

I'm sorry to hear that your marriage has suffered. It's been difficult finding a date personally.
Tell me about it. I haven't been able to find a date with anyone other than my wife for 40 years now.
And then, when I started getting involved with Slashdot, I noticed that even my wife began finding me less attractive.

Since you discovered Slashdot, Slashdot hasn't been the same either... and I mean that in a good way. Thank you for your contributions. With you around, the signal to noise ratio is much more bearable.
Yeah but which did I contribute, more signal, or more noise?

The world needs more lawyers like you, successfully fighting on behalf of 'the common man' against the big corporations, getting word out to the masses, and just being an all around 'fine chap'.
OK, NYCL: He's been properly brainwashed. You may commence taking over the world now.
Not until you come around as well. I am waiting until all pockets of resistance have been subdued.

In case you missed the recent news, you can really impress her if you say during a prominent trial, "No, I don't need any compensation. But you could send my wife some flowers." Or mix it up, say chocolate, for example.

Many years from now, when you tell your grandkids that you know what an RSS feed is, you are going to blow their minds.
Not really. They'll probably be using some much more advanced technology, like "RCS". ("Really Complex Syndication").
