  1. Actually, it was the John Doe #5 motion to quash that was denied, not #4 which was just referenced in this order.

  3. I rejected a post for violation of policy no. 7 and possibly no. 10.

  4. It's pretty hard to know what policy no. 7 and possibly no. 10. are since there are no obvious links to any policies at all on this page that I can see (and I did so a search of the entire http://recordingindustryvspeople.blogspot.com/ page for the keyword "policy" without success).

  5. Not to be vexatious here but each time I click on your link above to your policies it leads me right back to this comment page.
