Another Court Says RIAA Needs To
Actually File Suits 01/04/2005 10:52 PM
It's not really that big a deal, as other courts have already said the same thing, but the RIAA has lost another case, saying that before they can subpoena ISPs for customer info, they first need to file a lawsuit. Since other courts have already told them this, that's what they've been doing lately. However, it does reaffirm previous rulings, and means the RIAA won't be able to point to split rulings to try to push their case further.

SBC Case Against The RIAA Transferred To
Same Court That Decided Against Verizon 12/02/2003 12:12 AM
While SBC has been claiming that their case against the RIAA is somehow different from the Verizon case which the RIAA won, they're now going to have to convince the same court that their case really is different. Originally, the case was scheduled to be heard in California, which meant they weren't bound to the original Verizon ruling in Washington DC. However, the RIAA requested that the case be moved to DC, and the California court complied. This makes it much more difficult for SBC, who has to prove that the reasons they believe the RIAA has violated their customers' privacy is somehow different than the similar claims Verizon made last year.

Lawsuit Against Spam Blacklist Heading
To Court 09/07/2004 03:08 AM
We've written plenty of times in the past about how various spam blacklists are causing all sorts of problems by putting sites on their list (including Techdirt) that obvious ly haven't been spamming. However, as bad as being blacklisted is (and we keep getting blacklisted by Outblaze for no clear reason) should someone be able to sue for it? As far as I'm concerned, it's the problem of whoever decided to set up such an obviously bad spam filter and then rely on it to completely block, without review, all messages that were checked off as spam. However, others take it a step further and have decided to sue blacklists that wrongfully (probably) list them. The latest such case is about to go to court, according to an article in Salon.com. Again, it sounds like the guy suing is overreacting by blaming the guy who set up the list -- no matter how bad the list was. The problem is with those who relied on such a questionable list, and not the list maintainer. As the article notes, however, it looks like ISPs and companies are finally starting to realize that not all spam blacklists were created equal, and not all are worth using.

Lawsuit Over Whether Napster's Investors

Lawsuit Over Whether Napster's Investors
Are Liable Heading To Court 04/20/2004 07:35 PM
In a case that could have serious implications for venture capitalists and other investors in companies, the lawsuits that Univers al Studios and EMI filed last year against Napster's investors (including their own rival label Bertelsmann) have been combined into one case that is set to get under way next week. The two labels accuse the investors of being responsible for copyright infringement by keeping Napster in business longer and for inspiring "copycat" sites like Kazaa and Morpheus. Beyond the basic problem that (again) they are blaming the tool and not the actual illegal action, this also opens up a whole can of worms concerning any investment. The investors simply invest in the company, and while they may have some influence over what the company does, to blame them for illegal actions performed by users of a product seems to go well beyond reason. That's like saying we should blame investors in Ford if a Mustang is used to run someone down. It's going beyond blaming a tool that was misused and even beyond blaming the company or its management for creating a tool that could be misused, all the way towards blaming those who kept the company in business with their money. Clearly, without Ford's investors, the company would never be where it is today, and no one would be able to have Mustangs to run over others. Therefore, they must be guilty of manslaughter by association. In fact, why not take it one step further. Perhaps all of Ford's customers should be responsible (even if they only did legitimate actions with their vehicles) because they put money in Ford's bank account letting them stay in business as well. The argument is ridiculous and hopefully the judge will see it the same way.

Apple Computer investors cannot sue the company over the fact that the Power Mac G4 Cube and other products didn't live up to Apple’s sales expectations, according to a federal appeals court ruling this week. CNET News is reporting that the appeals court also said allegations that Apple knew some of its sales projections were false at the time they made them was not supported by the facts presented in the case. The attempted class action suit was filed on behalf of those who purchased Apple shares between July 19 and Sept. 28 of 2000. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals said Monday that companies are to be given leeway because forecasts are by their nature only estimates.
