Clearly this judge should have recused herself simply to avoid even the appearance of impropriety. Any judge with even a sliver of integrity would have done so

- GrandMasterBirt 16y agoI am in full support of a judge that deeply understands the issues at hand. However there is a clear conflict of interest here. The law is supposed to be impartial. I am all for judges sympathetic to the cause, but I don't want that either. The law must treat both parties big and small equally, and assume that even if its the RIAA that they may have merit in their claims, and vice versa. So in conclusion, its a tough call here. I would hope this gets much more media attention and either her COI is exposed and she is forced to step down OR she is taken off these sort of cases and her knowledge is put to use elsewhere.
