which of course is a primary area of dispute between Howell and
Plaintiff. The article did not dissect specific legal disputes but
rather gave the general import of the dispute at hand. I note that the
article seemed to be guided by the NY Attorney Roy Beckerman who is
intimately involved with many of these cases on behalf of the defendants
of current and past RIAA actions.

I think it's pretty clear that is exactly the point that Roy Beckerman
is trying to make. Of course, what would he know? He's only the lead
attorney for the defense in many of these cases and also the proprietor
of this website...

Again, I have to wonder why you are so eager to take the plaintiff's
side on these issues.
You might want to check out another take of this story (I believe these
people are local too) at the Motley Fool...

but I gather you would consider this to be elided, sensational and wrong
too.
