I've never been involved with any legal proceedings, and I have only a cursory knowledge of the system. However, it seems to me that there isn't any mandate for plaintiffs to see it to the end (for example, why are they allowed to settle instead of being forced to choose between seeing it through and forfeighting?) I mean, I can see settling being an option for the defendant, who didn't initiate the trial and is pretty much stuck between a rock and a hard place. But the RIAA (or, pretty much any plaintiff, ever) has no business dropping cases. IMO, that should be made illegal, for all cases. Or, rather, dropping the case should always be an automatic loss, not a way to weasel out of things. I am glad, however, that a judge is sticking up to the RIAA, and doing what they can to force the RIAA to go public. I'm sick and tired of their hiding away in a courtroom, avoiding the prying eyes of the not-so-dumb public! I hope this works out, and the RIAA is exposed for what they are.

(angry) First a stay and then they'll weasel out of it completely. That adjournment is more than a month away and they'll have plenty of time to figure out something. I reckon that if they can't bend/bribe/extort that judge to their will, they'll simply drop the case, settle or whatever. One way or another we're not going to see these bastards put on the spot. (even angrier) If they were put on the spot, there's a good chance that this one trial will derail their whole extortion campaign. No wonder they're getting out of it any way they can.
