RIAA Can't Have Defendant's Son's Desktop

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "The RIAA's attempt to get Ms. Lindor's son's desktop computer in UMG v. Lindor has been rejected by the Magistrate Judge. The judge said that the RIAA 'offered little more than speculation to support their request for an inspection of Mr. Raymond's desktop computer, based on ... his family relationship to the defendant, the proximity of his house to the defendant's house, and his determined defense of his mother in this case. That is not enough. On the record before me, plaintiffs have provided scant basis to authorize an inspection of Mr. Raymond's desktop computer.' Decision by Magistrate Judge Robert M. Levy. (pdf)"

Now the annual idiocy is over can we have a vote
on what readers actually think of /. april 1st edition:

[ ] lame
[ ] really lame
[ ] totally fucking lame
[ ] gay
[ ] I'm an idiot

You know what would be good for next year.. how about no april fools
stories at all. That would be really novel and confusing,
people might actually read each story wondering.. come on, this cant
be real, its april 1. Having every single story on april 1 be bogus
is so stupid it might be genius if they drop the retarded idea next year.
