Music Piracy Defendants Fight Back: "In the last year -- particularly in the last six months -- a growing number of defendants have refused to settle music industry suits, challenging what they allege are groundless lawsuits filed by the Recording Industry Association of America. Defense attorneys allege that the RIAA is using 'scare tactics' to force settlements, intimidating defendants into paying up before they can seek legal help, or dispute the charges. RIAA officials deny using any strong-arm tactics."
