RIAA Loses Bid To Keep Revenues Secret
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "The RIAA's motion to keep secret the record companies' 1999-to-date revenues for the copyrighted song files at the heart of the case has been denied, in the Boston case scheduled for trial July 27th, SONY BMG Music Entertainment v. Tenenbaum. The Judge had previously ordered the plaintiff record companies to produce a summary of the 1999-to-date revenues for the recordings, broken down into physical and digital sales. On the day the summary was due to be produced, instead of producing it, they produced a 'protective order motion' asking the Judge to rule that the information would have to be kept secret. The Judge rejected that motion: 'the Court does not comprehend how disclosure would impair the Plaintiffs' competitive business prospects when three of the four biggest record labels in the world — Warner Bros. Records, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, and UMG Recording, Inc. — are participating jointly in this lawsuit and, presumably, would have joint access to this information.'"
Looks like we have some rejects with mod points running loose.
Can someone please correct these retarded moderations they've done.

PC Speaker:
fuck the M-P-double-A comin straight out the underground
a young pirate got it bad cause I'm down,
loadin DVDs like a motherfuckin fiend,
bring my camera to the movies and I put em on BT,
back all that stolen content up on DVD-ROMs,
cause my tip's been piracy since I dropped out my Mom's,
and just because I share my MP3s,
they got the government comin after me,
instead of suin kids why don't you step on up,
and release a couple albums that don't completely suck,
stop puttin DRM onto audio CDs,
that don't make it any harder to steal your MP3s,
if I want your shit for free, I ain't gonna have to pay,
and all your bullshit is why the fuck I say,
hack the Gibson, hack the Gibson,
I'm seedin BitTorrents like a digital pimp, son
Chorus:
fuck the M-P-double-A

with heads in-between politicians thighs,
fat checks endorsed by senators that lie,
pullin fake dollar losses straight outta the sky,
and i don't trust trusted computing,
they don't want it around to stop looting,
the internet is the only place you're still free,
if you disagree, just you wait and see,
you wanna lock down the web and throw away the key?
