Supreme Court Rejects RIAA Appeal

Posted by timothy on from the sounds-like-a-smart-one dept.

An anonymous reader submits "Recall that the RIAA originally used to directly send DMCA-laced supoenas to ISPs to obtain information about a P2P user. Then recall how Verizon and other providers balked saying the RIAA had to file John Doe suits first. It ultimately reached SCOTUS, with the RIAA appealing a decision that was in Verizon's favor. SCOTUS has declined to hear the case, effectively casting the Verizon opinion in stone. Wahoo! Part of DMCA shot down!"

    Perhaps, like all of us, the judges are getting tired of the RIAA's "tactics" and want it to shut up and stop whining.

    I thought it said SCROTUS at first! I wonder if they have any ties to the terrorist organization known as the CLIT.
