- mjn 13y agoInteresting, I forgot about them. It looks like that case was never really resolved legally, though. They lost one injunction in a District Court, and then shut down, so the underlying issues weren't fully litigated (and not considered by higher courts).
- nknighthb 13y agoNo, they settled out-of-court and shut down after a preliminary injunction by a district court that effectively bankrupted them. There's no precedent there, and no hint of what the result of an appeal would have been.
- eli 13y agothere was an mp3 company in the 90s that did the same thing, but I doubt the RIAA actually was able to get a precedent.
