RIAA copyright infringement lawsuits are filed in federal court. It's a serious legal venue where the suits grind out over years amid a flood of motions. It's not small claims court where you do it yourself. The peril is real. Lose a case and you're out tens of thousands of dollars.

On the other hand that's about how much it will cost to retain an attorney.

Darmk Liggins chose the risky pro se route to Represent himself. It's working ... so far. We congratulate Mr. Liggins. He defeated RIAA's motion for summary judgment.
