Where the Kids Come to Mouth Off

[Anne Elk]

My brother has been sued. In the letter they offered to settle for $4500. In the first phone call it dropped to $3000. While doing some research he discovered that there was an amnesty period, where you could comply with a list of RIAA demands and register. Doing so removed you from their to-be-sued-list. Turns out he complied with amnesty website requirements. Does he have a shot at getting the amount reduced even though he didn't register (didn't know about it)? I know, I know, ignorance isn't a defense, but hey, it's my brother, and he's a good kid who doesn't have $3000.
