[0]NewYorkCountryLawyer writes “In one of its ‘ex parte’ cases seeking
the names and addresses of ‘John Does,’ this one targeting students at
the University of Southern California, the RIAA obtained an order
granting discovery — but with a wrinkle. [1]The judge’s order (PDF)
specified that the information obtained could not be used for any purpose
[2]other than obtaining injunctions against the students. Apparently the
RIAA lawyers have ignored, or failed to understand, that limitation, as
an LA lawyer has reported that the RIAA is busy [3]calling up the USC
students and their families and demanding monetary settlements.”
