That being said judges generally have difficulty siding against their all inclusive vacations that come with making the 'right' choice in court

Correct. And the RIAA and Sony Music Entertainment etc have lots of money for expensive lawyers. Small artists, companies and people don't have that and start with a big disadvantage per default. It's always like that. I have some limited faith in the judiciary. Sometimes there is a David vs Goliath moment. But we all know in reality there are many stunts available for rich entities to pull, and win against someone, despite being in the wrong.
