Directory of Defense Lawyers
in RIAA, MPAA, BitTorrent, and other downloading cases, from
Recording Industry vs. The People
Provided by Ray Beckerman, P.C.
Most current list, maintained by Electronic Frontier Foundation:
“Subpoena Defense Resources : Attorneys Offering Assistance”.
Note: pursuant to a new law in New York this post might be considered “Attorney Advertising” according to the law’s definitions. However, this directory is published free of charge, it is an editorial feature of my own, and is not “advertising” under the ordinary definition of the term, except insofar as it refers my firm.
The following is a directory I have prepared of lawyers who are actively contesting peer to peer file sharing cases brought by the RIAA against consumers. If you know of other attorneys who you feel merit inclusion in this directory, please advise me by email Thank you. -Ray Beckerman
