p2pnet news view | RIAA:- The final pretrial conference was conducted today in SONY BMG Music Entertainment v. Tenenbaum, and it was determined that the trial will commence Monday, July 27th, as planned.

Additionally, Matthew Oppenheim was admitted pro haec vice, defendant requested reconsideration of the in limine motion to exclude the testimony of an ethnomusicologist, the Court took the motion under advisement, Atlantic Recordings was given permission to withdraw its claim, and the plaintiffs’ partial summary judgment motion seeking dismissal of the fair use defense was taken under advisement.

This is the second RIAA case known to have gone to trial (however, only the RIAA knows for sure).

Atlantic Recording Notice of Dismissal

The ‘notice of dismissal’ filed by Atlantic is peculiar.

It does not specify that the claim is dismissed; it does not provide a place for the Judge to so order it; it does not state that the dismissal is with prejudice.
