In UMG v. Lindor RIAA Insists It Doesn't Have to Produce Hard Drive Report Until Discovery Cutoff Date Despite Promises to Produce it Earlier

As we reported yesterday, two and a half months after it had made a "mirror image" of the hard drive of the computer in Marie Lindor's apartment, the RIAA backed off of its previous promise to deliver its expert's forensics report by October, 12th, now claiming it didn't have to produce the report until the December 31st discovery cutoff date. Ms Lindor's lawyers asked the Magistrate Judge to dismiss the complaint.

Now, in response to that motion, the RIAA is repeating to the Magistrate what it had said to Ms. Lindor's lawyers, that its previous agreements as to the time frame were just "professional courtesy", and that they are not required to give the report to the defendant's lawyers until December 31st:
October 25, Letter of Richard L. Gabriel (Hard Drive Report)*
Attachment to October 25 Letter of Richard L. Gabriel (Hard Drive Report)*

Ms.Lindor's motion:

October 23, Letter of Ray Beckerman (Hard Drive Report)*
Attachments to October 23, Letter of Ray Beckerman (Hard Drive Report)*

It seems Rich is again unable to diffentiate some facts!

He writes to the judge:
"[...]along with statements by defense counsel that are factually inaccurate and, indeed, defamatory.

Again, it seems, he is either unable to process correctly the information his brain recieves or if he is not unable to process information correctly than he AGAIN willfully misstate facts to the judge!

Since I'm of course willing to take full responsibility for what i'm writing here I continue in german. That way I can be sure I really write what I want to say:

Richard warum belügst du den Richer denn schon wieder?
Der Ray hat keine ungenauen Angaben gemacht! Er beschreibt in seinem Begleittext zu den Links der PDFs exakt was du und er miteinander komuniziert habt. Und das belegt er durch die eingescannten Emails. Mehr schreibt er erstmal nicht!
MEIN Kommentar -in dem ich meine Meinung kundtue das ich dich für einen schleimigen Typen halte und einem Typen wie dir unter den von mir genannten Umständen das ihr RIAATypen euch an den falschen Amerikaner vergreift, keine Träne nachweinen würde- kannst du doch nicht einfach dem Ray zuschreiben. Und jetzt den Richter anlügen das Ray diffamierende Statements abgibt! Du mußt schon lernen genau hinzusehen wer was, in welchem zusammenhang schreibt!
Und Ray's nachfolgender "free speech"-geschützter Kommentar in dem er mitteilt was er glaubt was der Grund für die bisherige Nichtvorlage des Reports ist kann von dir doch nicht wirklich als "defamatory" bezeichnet werden.
Also warum stellst du dem Richter gegenüber es so dar das Ray "defamatory statements" abgibt?

Bist du vielleicht einfach nur zu dumm das du zwischen "Bericht" und "Kommentar" nicht unterscheiden kannst, oder belügst du Richter aus Prinzip dadurch das DU ihnen vorsätzlich ungenaue Sachverhaltsschilderungen gibst?! Ist das deine Auffassung von Berufsehre? Dann ist es meine Meinung das ich mit meiner Meinung das du ein schleimiger Typ bist richtig liege!

LOL:
sorry for my typo in the first sentence(Richer instead of Richter = judge). I guess due to that at least the automated translation constructed a really nice one:
"Smelling pool of broadcasting corporations why you deceive the Richer already again? Really, thats the true translation of http://www.systranbox.com/systran/box

at least google knows that Richard is simply the name of the RIAAguy (Richard why you deceive the Richer already again?) and not some "Smelling pool of broadcasting corporations"
(or maybe the first translation service knows more then google ...) ;-)

I honestly swear I didn't made this up! This is really what systran thinks that Richard stands for!
