[ga] Judge Orders Record Company Execs To Duluth

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

All,

  Glad to see that we have at least one judge with some reasonable
integrity.  I am sure that the RIAA's legal team is smarting rather
significantly with this very good ruling by Judge Davis.

  Another spanking of the RIAA in this ongoing case by Judge
Davis doesn't boad well for a settlement in the favor of the RIAA
at this juncture.  I hope ICANN is getting the message?

writes "Lest there be any doubt that District Judge Michael J. Davis,
presiding over the Duluth, Minnesota, case,

Capitol Records v. Thomas, really does 'get it' about the toxic effect
the RIAA, its lead henchman Matthew Oppenheim, and their lawyers have
had on the judicial process, all such doubt should be removed by

the order he just entered (PDF). It removes control of the
decision-making process from the RIAA, Oppenheim, and the lawyers. In 
the order Judge Davis spells out, in the clearest possible terms so that 
there can be no misunderstanding, that at the extraordinary 2-day
settlement conference he has scheduled for later this month, each record
company plaintiff is ordered to produce

an 'officer' of the corporation, or a 'managing agent' of the
corporation, who has corporate, decision-making, 'power.'  The judge
makes it clear that no one who has 'settlement authority' with any
limits or range attached to it will be acceptable. This means that

not be able to control the settlement process as he has been permitted
by
the Courts to do in the past."
