RIAA Legal Help

Charles Lee Mudd Jr. has been representing individuals subpoenaed and sued by the RIAA since the summer of 2003. Charles became concerned about the RIAA's use of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) to obtain the identities of alleged infringers of the copyrights held by the RIAA's clients (the major Record Companies). In addition, Charles objected to the approach adopted and implemented by the RIAA for purposes of attacking the file-sharing problem. Consequently, Charles volunteered on philosophical and public policy grounds to represent individuals who found themselves facing the RIAA. Through the firm of Law Offices of Charles Lee Mudd Jr. and Privacy Resolutions P.C., a discounted rate program has been established to provide representation for those individuals targeted by the RIAA. Thus, the same concerns that prompted Charles' involvement in these matters continue to drive his efforts in defending and representing those individuals who have found themselves as defendants in lawsuits brought by the Recording Industry.

With respect to his involvement in this area of law practice, Charles has been listed on the subpoena defense website since its beginning. He has experience in representing the interests of low-income individuals, minors, students, and adults with respect to the RIAA. Indeed, he has substantial experience in dealing with the RIAA's attorneys. Moreover, having a background in intellectual property, litigation, and privacy, Charles remains well-prepared and experienced to handle all aspects of RIAA related legal representation. Charles' unique approach to these matters provide our clients with exceptional and professional representation.

In all cases, we recommend that you speak with legal counsel immediately upon receiving notification that your identity has been subpoenaed from your ISP or that you have been named in a lawsuit. Please note that in some jurisdictions (eg Illinois) oral settlement agreements can be enforced. Thus, it remains imperative that you speak with legal counsel as quickly as possible. Again, you can contact Charles Mudd or visit www.subpoenadefense.org for a list of several attorneys providing representation in these circumstances.
