We have been advised that the appeal in Lava Records v. Amurao is likely to be argued during the week of May 18th.
This is the case, to be argued by Richard A. Altman, in which the Second Circuit will establish the principles to be followed within the Second Circuit in awarding attorneys fees to defendants in the RIAA's "throwing in the towel" cases -- i.e., the cases in which the record companies sued the wrong person, and then subsequently dismissed the case voluntarily.

The RIAA has a habit of citing our blog to judges, so please keep comments dignified and worthy of the important issues we are discussing, in keeping with our comment policies. If you see a violation of the policies, please let me know by email. You can post anonymously, but must sign off by giving us something to call you. Conversations among several people called "Anonymous" get too confusing. Thanks. Best regards. -Ray
To this man this issue, supported by copyright law, seems so simple, straightforward, and obvious, as to really barely require any argument at all.
