All,
Well here we go again. Seems ICANN's IPC member, the
ever stupefying RIAA decides it can't win so just drops the
case... But was able to at least scare two John Does into
paying ransom. >:(
Ray, I think that the RIAA is still going to do some night crawling
for awhile longer... What is baffling to me is why ICANN's
IPC still keeps the RIAA AND the MPAA around... Maybe
their hoping for ACTA to give them some traction, or the new
administration with their two choices for the IP division at
DOJ to do same?

away last week from one of their 'discovery' cases seeking the
identities of 'John Does' who attended Rhode Island College. We
have just learned that

they walked away from another one, BMG Music v.
Does 1-14, in Greensboro, North Carolina. 2 of the 14 John Does had
settled, but the other 12 who hung tough will never be identified to the
RIAA lawyers and will not have to pay any 'settlement.' This adds fuel
to the debate over whether the RIAA has finally

sneaking around in the dark."
