RIAA asks for extensions of time in Tenenbaum & in Thomas-Rasset cases

The RIAA's lawyers have asked for extensions of time in both Capitol Records v. Thomas-Rasset and SONY BMG Music Entertainment v. Tenenbaum.

In Tenenbaum they've twice asked for extensions of time in which to respond to Tenenbaum's remittitur motion, and in Thomas-Rasset they've asked for an extension of time in which to decide whether to accept or to challenge the reduced $54,000 verdict.

SONY BMG Music Entertainment v. Tenenbaum second RIAA request for extension of time to answer remittitur motion
Capitol Records v. Thomas-Rasset RIAA request for extension of time in which to make up its mind about accepting or challenging reduced verdict

[Ed. note. What's the problem? Not enough lawyers? - R.B.]

Perhaps they are all busy looking up the meaning of the term: "Pyrrhic victory."

Must have all gone to work for the Justice Department and the ones that are left don't have a clue as to what to do. LOL

Ray, the RIAA certainly has enough lawyers. But for them to justify more and more fees to their RIAA bosses, they need to charge more hours. Hence the request for more time.
