p2pnet news view | RIAA News:-In the Boston, Massachusetts case SONY BMG Music Entertainment v Tenenbaum, the Court had ordered the RIAA to produce certain revenue information, which would be relevant to a determination of the ‘fair use’ defense.

But the RIAA has now moved for a protective order to keep the information secret.

This motion is a sham and I sincerely hope Judge Nancy Gertner denies it.

It’s ludicrous for 4 competitors to be jointly moving to keep the information confidential.

As any observer of the RIAA litigations knows, there’s one. and only one, reason for making this motion —-

—- to make it more costly for other defendants’ lawyers to get this information when they need it.

It’s part and parcel of the RIAA’s strategy of making the costs of defense as high as possible, but hopefully, Judge Gertner will see through this rank gamesmanship.
