Don't want to be in an industry where you're known for the number of times you defend
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, June 06 2012 @ 09:22 PM EDT

SCOG found out the hard way that:

    You really don't want to be involved in an industry where your street cred is based on the number of lawsuits in which you are the plaintiff.
There's a good side to either of those two statements. Ditto for a bad side.

If you are rather loose with other peoples products, then yes, you don't want to be known for being a defendant. At the same time, if you are rather loose with other peoples products, you don't want to be known for being a plaintiff either.

Start looking at how some of the Judges are treating the RIAA in their initiated lawsuits. Examine what happened to RightHaven when they decided to duplicate the RIAA's behavior.

Get the point? No extreme behavior is good.

It's too bad so few of the main journalists author their stories pointing out clearly the extreme behaviors rather then just regurgitating what appears to be press releases by the perps.
