RIAA Walks Away From Another "Discovery" Case

Posted by kdawson on from the seeking-the-light-switch dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "You may recall that the RIAA walked away last week from one of their 'discovery' cases seeking the identities of 'John Does' who attended Rhode Island College. We have just learned that they walked away from another one, BMG Music v. Does 1-14, in Greensboro, North Carolina. 2 of the 14 John Does had settled, but the other 12 — who hung tough — will never be identified to the RIAA lawyers and will not have to pay any 'settlement.' This adds fuel to the debate over whether the RIAA has finally seen the light or is still sneaking around in the dark."

  1. I would get a different fiance by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Okay, the primary reason to get married is to have kids. Your fiance is probably not in ideal health to bear you multiple children. Then when they are born, you will have to do an undue amount of work. And then of course, as your children grow up, you look forward to spending time with your fiance traveling, doing interesting stuff, generally, good healthy is required at that time.

    Then you add the medical expenses and I have to assume you're in "love". "Love" is a reason to have sex, not get married. Marriage is something that should be approached with the same caution as buying a house or looking for a job. You wouldn't buy a house with a defect that would basically wreck your life, and you don't get a wife under those circumstances either. This is a partnership. What does this person bring to the bargain?

    You're not married yet. I would move on and find someone who is in better health.
