RIAA Backs Down Again in Chicago
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "The RIAA seems to have a problem making things stick in the Windy City. It has once again backed down in BMG v. Thao, after suing a misidentified defendant. Same thing occurred last October in Elektra v. Wilke. In the Thao case, the RIAA based its case on information that the cable modem used to partake in file sharing was registered to Mr. Thao. However, it turned out that Mr. Thao was not even a subscriber (pdf) of the ISP (pdf) at the time of the alleged file-sharing, and therefore did not have possession of the suspect cable modem at that time."

Yeah, it'd be like going to war on some trumped up evidence... like invading some random state on a rumor that they had some sort of bad weapon or something.
Spankings?
I feel like death on a soda cracker.
Oh come on - we're talking about terrorists and pirates here! Something must be done. If you want to make an omelette, you've got to break a few eggs you know.
Ahh idealism - it's so last century.
They probably had evidence that he held tools of mass downloading, capable of deployment within 45 minutes.
