Papers Sealed In Class Action Against RIAA

Posted by samzenpus on Monday April 27, 2009 @09:37AM from the for-their-eyes-only dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "In Andersen v. Atlantic Recording, the Oregon class action brought by Tanya Anderson against the RIAA, MediaSentry, and others, the plaintiff's motion for class action certification has been sealed by the Court. Also, the Court conducted an 'in camera' conference with the defendants' attorneys — meaning the Judge met with the defendants' attorneys alone — in connection with a discovery motion, and the record of that conference has been sealed as well. The RIAA has made a motion to dismiss the class action; that has not been sealed. In case you're wondering what's going on here, so am I."

Maybe the judge doesn't want Slashdot, Facebook Twitter, Myspace, ...
to have an effect on the outcome of the case?
Which sounds reasonable to me. I'm no fan of the RIAA, but this place is an absolute zoo. Just look at the Pirate Bay trial. They make all bittorrent junkies look like a bunch of immature half-wits.
Oh wait...
