By Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman

In Elektra v. Barker, Warner v. Cassin, and Elektra v. Schwartz, three New York metropolitan area cases in which the defendants are represented by Vandenberg & Feliu and in which there are pending motions to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim under the copyright laws, defense counsel have sent the respective judges in those cases copies of the decision of Hon. Janet Bond Arterton of the District Court of Connecticut in Atlantic v. Brennan, holding that the RIAA complaint fails to state a claim.
