Once the music piracy federal criminal conspiracy copyright infringement case began to move through the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, the “race to the plea line” began between the various defendants. They hoped to obtain a more lenient treatment in exchange to assisting the government in securing music piracy conspiracy copyright infringement convictions against the other defendants in federal court in Virginia. Only two people accused of allegedly being members of Rabid Neurosis (RNS) did not plead guilty. On of them was Domingo Rivera’s client, Adil R. Cassim, who the Prosecution alleged was the leader of RNS.
