RIAA moves to keep revenue information secret in SONY v. Tenenbaum

By Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman

ADVERTISEMENTS

The RIAA has made a motion for a protective order to keep its revenue information secret in SONY BMG Music Entertainment v. Tenenbaum.

Plaintiffs' motion for protective order for revenue information

[Ed. Note. This motion is a sham. I sincerely hope Judge Gertner denies it. It is ludicrous for 4 competitors to be jointly moving to keep the information confidential. As any observer of the RIAA litigations knows, there is one and only one reason for making this motion : to make it more costly for other defendants' lawyers to get this information when they need it. I.e., it is part and parcel of the RIAA's strategy of making the costs of defense as high as possible. Hopefully Judge Gertner will see through this rank gamesmanship. -R.B.]
