Shouldn't the plaintiffs then single out that particular popular record, and not try to take down the entire catalogue? It goes both ways - if you ask for all you get data about all and that data shows one access/month.
- jfengel 3y agoThe plaintiff doesn't want to open a loophole. Suppose that one of these records gets used in a major film soundtrack, and now everybody is downloading it. They will have a harder time asserting their ownership if they don't defend it now. Their approach stands on applying the law as written: "This is mine and you can't have it, even if I don't really much care about it."
