I ask you to take a minute to think about those poor souls who have been unfairly accused but still had to pay thousands of dollars rather than go up against that huuuuuuge monster that the RIAA had setup to stamp and crush the skulls of non-payers, please then take another minute to think of all the artists the majors have exploited over the decades... and finally take a moment to think about what they would have done if the positions were reversed even though you had no evil intent.
While I am not a person to go "you owe it to your X" where X would be country/fans/family/humankind/mankind/god etc I think you should consider the unique position you find yourself in and *maybe* go after the monster just the balance the scales of justice.
As stated above, we the fans, will try to support you as well with donations and organizations like the EFF too would most probably be willing to help - if you want to go ahead with it.
If you do go ahead with it, it can only be a win for everyone including your husband's music due to the added exposure of nearly everyone (blogs,sites,news) picking this up. While before this i never really heard of your husbands music I have now sampled some of his stuff and... i like it.
Give others a chance to discover his music as well, better than paid advertising ever could and at the same time notch one up for justice.
You would have public opinion on your side, as well as the thousands of innocent people the RIAA has sued, tens or hundreds of millions like me who hate the industry, as well as a vast number of college students, single parents, the sick, the elderly, the dying... and i daresay even that person who was dead when the RIAA said he was infringing (and maybe even those printers that the RIAA's 'infringement engine' pointed its fingers to for downloading 'copyrighted' material).
Please please please dont just discard this but if I may quote a cliche "think of the bigger picture".
Yesss! I agree with all the comments above (quite a rare thing) and also take my hat off to Mrs. Collins, sue there ass in court so others wont be taken in like that maam.
I will certainly check out her husbands music now.
Dont sue your fans, preteens (children), college students, single parents, grandparents, the dying... and people who were already dead at the time they supposedly pirated your product.
If you violate the above rule you make someone like me, who will NEVER buy a song from any label/artist that's under the RIAA scum-mobile.
This is my first comment here as I have been a long time reader but never a commenter, but after reading this for a few days... just cant resist to throw my $0.02 in .
I think Silly Lily is exactly like the people she is trying to "protect".
Once caught she simply backtracks with more lies, when backed into the corner a final show of lies then... lets clear all evidence that it happened and finally: lets put a spin on it and blame others for "abuse" so that i dont look like a complete moron. Exactly like the labels who she represents.
Lily, i know you read on this site, after all you copied a whole article from here... oops sorry, "acquired" without giving the proper credit due.
I know no one would do that to your music, "acquiring" it and then pretending they made it... because, it stinks anyway. I "acquired" your music to see what the fuss was about, and discovered it was a waste of hard disk space... then threw it out of my trashbox as well. Contemplating a format of my harddisk as it kind of has a stench now.
Lily you silly, it really is a shame that when god asked you what would you like you opted for cellulite (http://ezee.se/4b) a big belly and saggy unattractive tiny breasts (http://ezee.se/4c) and a moronic brain. It would have been the gutters for you but i guess god took pity on you and gave you something that a few people would consider talent. I am not one of the people who fall into that category - if your little pea brain has not figured it out already.
You might consider what i wrote above as a personal attack, but its no more of a personal attack that what you are/were advocating against people when you know nothing of the subject except the disinformation that had been fed to you by people with deep vested interests. I guess they really lucked out when they found a ninny like you to swallow their BS whole.
I hope this experience has taught you not to open your mouth before actually knowing what you are talking about, at least thats my hope, but in recent light of your moronic scribblings, i fear hope just wont cut it and neither will prayers.
Hope you have a horrible day for a couple of years.
