RIAA Drops Enforcement Case To "Sort Out" Inaccuracies

Posted by Soulskill on from the nothing-to-see-here-move-along dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "The other day I reported on my blog that the record companies had assigned, to the RIAA itself, a $4000 default judgment they'd gotten against some lady in Massachusetts, and that the RIAA was going after the defendant with an 'enforcement' proceeding to squeeze the money out of her. Today, it turns out, the RIAA withdrew its motion because, according to the RIAA's collection lawyer, the motion 'contained factual inaccuracies ... which plaintiff needs to sort out' (PDF). The collection lawyer must be new around here; a few little 'factual inaccuracies' never bothered an RIAA lawyer before."

    I'm guessing he found out the RIAA misrepresented something to him.

    And unlike the lawyers the RIAA usually uses, he found that a tad problematic.
