[ga] RIAA's $222k Verdict Is Likely To Be Set Aside

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  Well seems that the recent RIAA legal "Big Gun" missed it's
mark.

  So isn't it about/past time that ICANN's IPC discorge itself from
the RIAA?

See:

RIAA's  http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/08/01/2251217&tid=123
'big gun' didn't
fare so well this morning in Duluth, when he tried to persuade the judge
in

Capitol v. Thomas that the part of the Copyright Act which says 'by
sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending',
can be disregarded. According to an
http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/08/judge-hints-at.html in-person
account by Wired.com the Judge indicated that he is likely to grant a
mistrial, setting aside the $222,000 jury verdict based upon his
incorrect jury instruction, and that he will probably hand down his
decision in September.
Just yesterday some of the same lawyers

got rebuffed by the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in their
attempt to argue that Cablevision's online storage for its customers
constitutes a copyright infringement, in Cartoon Network v. CSC
Holdings.  There, too, the content owners had argued that the wording of
the
Copyright Act did not mean what it said.  There, too, the Court politely
but
firmly disagreed."
