Judge Deals Blow to RIAA

Posted by samzenpus on from the glad-that's-all-worked-out dept.

jcgam69 writes "A federal judge in New Mexico has put the brakes on the RIAA's lawsuit train, at least in the US District Court for New Mexico. The case in question is part of the RIAA's campaign against file-sharing on college campuses and names "Does 1-16," who allegedly engaged in copyright infringement using the University of New Mexico's network. In a ruling issued last month but disclosed today by file-sharing attorney Ray Beckerman, Judge Lorenzo F. Garcia denied the RIAA's motion to engage in discovery. This means that the RIAA will not be able to easily get subpoenas to obtain identifying information from the University."

    i wonder how you fags would feel if it was the money out of your pocket? you'd be screaming for justice and if you didn't get it you'd resort to bush bashing no matter how ridiculous it was.
