p2pnet news view | RIAA News:- The RIAA has finally thrown in the towel and dismissed its own case in Atlantic Recording v. Brennan.

The landmark Connecticut case features the first decision rejecting the RIAA’s ‘making available’ theory.

And Brennan didn’t appear at all.

In February, 2008, the RIAA’s motion for a default judgment was rejected for a number of reasons, including the Court’s ruling that there’s no claim for ‘making available for distribution’ under the US Copyright Act.

The RIAA moved for reconsideration, but the motion was denied.

Then, in December, the RIAA’s second motion for default judgment was rejected.

Finally the RIAA filed a ‘notice of dismissal’ ending the case.”
