The 8am jury instruction conference was relatively uneventful. The only substantive change was an addition to make clear that copying CDs for personal use via ripping is not, in this case, what is being alleged for jury to decide damages on. There were numerous objections on both sides on grounds previously ruled on by the court, but were reasserted this morning for the record.
On a scheduling note Judge Davis noted he has cancelled his trip out of town so that testimony should conclude today, final argument will be tomorrow after which the case should go to the jury.
