RIAA Walks Away From Another "Discovery" Case

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."

Objection

I object to the verb 'sneaking' in TFA.
It suggests purpose, strategy, and some level of intelligence.

I agree with you about "sneaking"; I was thinking more along the lines of "groping".

But then I realized "groping in the dark" had too many positive connotations.

Mmmmmm.... Boobs
