Seems like one small victory here. Sounds like the RIAA wants to rip discovery out of whomever they can, even when they may not have a valid case, in the desperate hope that somehow discovery will save their sagging fortunes through some Hail Mary revelation at the last moment by a non-party family member, or the computer itself. Glad to see that they've been stopped in the event that the case is dismissed. This, after all, seems proper. You must have a case before you get to perform discovery on presumed innocent parties.
