Warner/RIAA vs. The John Does Trial to Start May 19
Categories: BigMedia v. P2P Users • Cases
"At the heart of the RIAA litigation process is the ex parte discovery orders obtained by the RIAA in virtually secret 'lawsuits' against a large number of "John Does". These cases are brought for the sole purpose of obtaining the names and addresses of the defendants. Once the information is obtained, the RIAA discontinues the cases, and then sues the people in separate lawsuits."
