Law Professors Want New Trial for First RIAA Trial Win - Making available issue could lead to new trial but not necessarily new outcome

Last fall RIAA got a big win in the courts when Jammie Thomas was ordered to pay over $200,000 in fines just for “making available” music downloads for sharing. Recently, the judge in that case said that he was considering giving that trial a second chance because nationwide cases indicate that solely making the files available for distribution (with no proof that they were actually distributed) isn’t actually a crime. A group of lawyers has submitted a brief for the judge’s review which does indeed suggest that a new trial should be granted because of this issue. This doesn’t mean that Thomas would be in the clear; she could still be found in violation of copyright infringement even if a new trial is granted but she would get a second chance to prove her side of the case.

Trial over Visto patents delayed

Research In Motion, maker of the BlackBerry e-mail device, won a delay in a patent-infringement trial until U.S. regulators complete a review of the technology of Redwood City-based Visto. U.S. Magistrate Judge Charles Everingham late Wednesday postponed a trial scheduled to begin next week in Marshall, Texas, on Visto's infringement claims against RIM. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has upheld the validity of one patent and is reviewing three other patents. Visto, whose software is used by Vodafone Group, Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile and Sprint Nextel, claims Research In Motion is using its technology without a license. RIM, based in Waterloo, Ontario, denies the allegations. In May RIM won a case it filed against Visto in Canada.

RIAA Wins First Federal Music Copyright Trial - Jail time, fines and restitution are expected

A young man has just been convicted of conspiracy to commit copyright infringement for his role in administering a music filesharing server. The man was a member of Apocalypse Production Crew (APC), a "release group" for pirated music. Others in the group have paid fines related to these charges but nobody else had taken the case to trial. RIAA says that this is a landmark case because it is the first federal trial for online copyright infringement in which a majority of the filesharing charges were for sharing music. And of course RIAA is pleased with the verdict which will require the man to make full restitution to the record labels from which he stole music. The man also faces up to five years in prison and a quarter million dollar fine.
