RIAA In Lose/Lose Situation

The case of Elektra v. Santangelo has been one of the more closely followed cases in the RIAA’s crusade against suspected file sharers, due in no small part to the aggressiveness of Patti Santangelo’s defense. Ray Beckerman is reporting that Judge Colleen McMahon has denied the RIAA’s motion to dismiss the case without prejudice, ruling that the case must either proceed to trial or be dismissed with prejudice.

I was close to spraining my face by smiling too hard when I read this. It’s about time, and I hope this type of thing continues. No doubt the courts are even tired of handling these foolish cases.
