> Getting a TRO the same day because maybe one day some website will have archives of music files just shows how out of touch the justice system is with tech. Huh? It's not a "maybe one day", it was a public announcement by AA that they were absolutely going to do this soon. And TRO's are exactly for this, when irreparable harm might occur. Nothing out of touch at all. Now, granted the site still operates under other domains. But it's certainly expected that they would block the domain controlled by a US TLD, i.e. do the little they can. Really, what else would you possibly expect?

>it was a public announcement by AA that they were absolutely going to do this soon. "soon" isn't good enough for your typical TRO. To emphasize, "immediate, irreparable damage". And even if it was tomorrow, you really need to be unaware of the internet to argue that dumping a few more torrents into the wild is causing "irreparable damage". Do any of us really buy that? >Really, what else would you possibly expect? A TRO to be denied as usual because a few more torrents is not going to bankrupt a billion dollar music industry and to proceed at a later time like anyone else in the legal system? If denying a TRO of someone illegally deported to a foreign prison isn't a high enough bar, you're not convincing me some torrents is.
