An interesting metric; how many years back would it be before the judge would have instantly recused herself from ruling on any case involving file-sharing?

- Tyrannosaurs 16y agoI'm guessing the answer is zero. Cases involving the RIAA might be a different matter but it's unlikely that there would be any blanket assumption of that sort for any file sharing case. The thing to remember here is what people, particularly people in the law, are paid to do and what they believe are very different things. It's possible, even likely, that she has no strong opinions on file sharing one way or the other, that she was just doing a job and that she's entirely capable of taking a clear and unbiased view of things.
