Copyright Law

No new cases since December 16th

By Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman

My preliminary research indicates that the RIAA has not filed a new case since December 15th.

I have received numerous reports, however, from all across the country, of the lawyers and "settlement" collectors telling defendants and defendants' lawyers that they are going to file lawsuits, in some cases sending draft complaints, if they don't receive the demanded settlement.

I have no explanation for this anomaly.
