Judge Reduces Award in Tenenbaum Case

Judge Gertner of the Federal District Court for the District of Massachusetts has released an opinion in which she found that the jury’s verdict of $675,000 to the RIAA violated Due Process, and reduced the award to $67,500, or $2,250 per song.

It’s a 64-page opinion. So, more to come.

Damages Reduced for Jammie Thomas-Rasset

The judge in the Jammie Thomas-Rasset case just reduced the damages owed from $1.92 million to $54,000. The RIAA can now choose to accept the lower damages, or schedule a new trial on the issue of damages.

We will certainly discuss this more, either in a post or podcast, but we wanted to get this up now.
