RIAA filesharing case delayed
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 21 January 2009
The previously reported court case to hear the Recording Industry Association Of America’s lawsuit against accused file sharer Joel Tenenbaum is likely to be delayed because of the judge’s decision to stream the case on the net, and the RIAA’s decision to appeal that decision.
Judge Nancy Gertner needs time to consider the RIAA’s appeal and also the logistics of webcasting the court case, meaning the hearing is now unlikely to kick off until late February.
