Televised RIAA Hearing Adjourned, Briefs Scheduled

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Friday January 23, 2009 @11:15AM from the embarrassed-of-your-job dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "After the lower court adjourned the hearing scheduled to be televised in SONY BMG Music v. Tenenbaum, in order to give the appeals court time to determine the RIAA's petition for a writ of 'mandamus or prohibition', the appeals court set a briefing schedule. Apparently expecting amicus curiae briefs to be submitted, the appellate court set January 29th as a deadline for filing of amicus briefs. One commentator opines that 'the last thing Vivendi Universal, EMI, Warner Music and Sony BMG RIAA attack lawyers want is for people to see them live and in full, glorious color', while another noted Judge Gertner's observation that the arguments raised by the RIAA in the appeals court, relating to the manner of administering the broadcast, had never been raised in the lower court."

OK, I know your NYCL, but seriously? +5 Informative for just agreeing with the parent and reformatting it?
Not that its your fault, but sometimes I suspect that people mod purely based on reputation without actually reading.
