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: http://recordingindustryvspeople.blogspot.com/ writes "Apparently the 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 http://recordingindustryvspeople.blogspot.com/2007/01/index-of-litigation-do... 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 http://recordingindustryvspeople.blogspot.com/2008/08/mpaa-loses-in-case-aga... 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."
