RIAA Suit Rejected With Prejudice

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the one-for-the-good-guys dept.

yfarren writes "According to cdfreaks.com the RIAA has lost the case against the mother of a 13 year old girl accused of file-sharing violations." From the article: "The case was dismissed with prejudice, which prevents the case from being advanced against the defendant. Finally, the RIAA tried asking the Judge to amend the judgment in order to allow them to sue the child through a Guardian Ad Litem. However the court denied [the] RIAA's request."

    If you listen to Kelly Clarkson, I think the $36,000 fee is a linient punishment :-). *winks* On a serious note, IMHO, I don't think anyone can please ignorance in court with this simply due to the huge amount of press coverage its recieved. You would have had to live under a *huge huge* rock to miss it.

    If you downloaded Kelly Clarkson, I'm not sure you'd really be playing stupid...
