Clear the loading dock, the RIAA sur reply is on the way, with lots of paper - and little substance.

This is a blow to the RIAA! I beleive tha the Oregon Attorney General is correct on many accounts, and produced valid evidence of IP addresses simply don't identify people and that further investigation will be required.

What knaws at me the most is why the RIAA is ignoring a state attorney general, when their own investigators MediaSentry admit the attorney general's findings in another case, BMG Canada v John Doe, as well as in Capitol Records v Foster.
