RIAA Defendant Says Kazaa Settlement Bars Case

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the can't-have-it-both-ways dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "The defendant in Arista v. Greubel has filed an answering statement. The statement says that the RIAA's case against him, since it's based upon his use of Kazaa, is barred by the RIAA's receipt of $115 million from Kazaa. Mr. Greubel also challenged the constitutionality of the RIAA's $750-per-song damages theory, saying damages should be limited to $2.80 per song. See the previous Slashdot discussion of that issue and Judge Trager's decision in UMG v. Lindor."

    This is my opinion. To make sure you don't steal it, it's covered by the DMCA.

    How on earth is this story anything like 1984?

    We have always been at war with the RIAA.
