Bernina Asking For $146,727.53 In Judgement Against George P Riddick

[Digitizer3k]

Hopefully the courts will grant that amount plus a few extra million on top of that amount to deter the other copyright trolls. Still, even if Bernina only gets the $146,727.53 it should be enough to get Riddick to stop his harassing activities. 

"In this case, Defendants have also threatened, accused, harassed, and bullied at least hundreds of other individuals and entities based on these false claims—most of whom lacked the resources and capabilities to question or challenge Defendants. Defendants’ abuse of the copyright system should be deterred by this Court. Deterrence is an additional factor district courts should consider in deciding whether to award fees under the Copyright Act."

Meanwhile, is Riddick's home in Virginia up for sale?    http://tinyurl.com/3esepwh

Maybe Riddick will move to Florida where the homestead exemption laws will protect his house?  Or move in with mom?

Good post, and great research.
This case really dispels the myth that people can't fight the copyright trolls.

He didn't put up much of a court fight.
So, perhaps, his legal bills for himself wouldn't be very high.

It appears that Riddick's liquidating his assets before a court judgment can be made.
Then, hide the money.


Thanks.

Here is some additional information on that house for sale. "Chris Riddick" would be his son, I believe.

It sounds like George Riddick's bankrupt.
Is this correct?

I hate to say this, but he has many enemies who are probably rejoicing right now.

Maybe, but since the above says "Christopher Riddick" it could be his son's address.  Not sure.  I got the address from court documents as one of the addresses where George was served.  The latest address for service is 319 MacMurdo St, Ashland, VA so that may have been George's address all along.  Then again, maybe not. 

I hope it WAS George's place though.  :-)   I'm guessing he put enough financial stress on a lot of people to put some of them into bankruptcy.  What goes around comes around.

I am amazed that house is only worth $209K. I gotta move to Virginia!
