Copyright Law

Thomas-Rasset opposes RIAA motion to bar her from making objections

By Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman

Jammie Thomas-Rasset's lawyers have filed their opposition to the RIAA's motion to prevent defendant from objecting to the plaintiffs' copyright registrations, in Capitol Records v. Thomas-Rasset.

Defendant's response to plaintiff's motion to bar her from making objections

[Ed. note. The RIAA's motion is a very strange motion. I have a sneaking suspicion that the RIAA realizes it has a problem with its paperwork, something which went undetected last time around, but is unlikely to escape detection this time around, and Timothy Reynolds -- being an inexperienced lawyer -- thought this would be the best way to avoid the problem. Actually all he's succeeded in doing is to is to red flag the problem, because this motion has the chance of a snowball in Hell of being granted. -R.B.]
