Court Grants RIAA Summary Judgment Motions vs. Limewire

Posted by samzenpus on from the pay-the-man dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "District Court Judge Kimba Wood has granted some of the RIAA's key summary judgment motions in Arista Records v. Lime Group. In her 59-page decision (PDF), she found Lime Group itself, as well as its CEO and a separate company, liable for intentionally inducing Limewire users to infringe plaintiffs' copyrights. The decision was not a final judgment, so it is not appealable. Additionally, it denied summary judgment on certain issues, and did not address any possible damages."

    I urge you all to infringe RIAA copyrights in any way possible.

    First, you're using language (accessory) to a criminal offense, not a civil one -- which AFAIK, copyright infringement is.

    Yes, but remember, downloading movies and music is *STEALING*, which of course is a criminal offense. At least that's what they want it to be.
