Looks like the RIAA is going to take another loss because of it’s tactics. Recently some students at North Carolina State brought to the attention of the court the illegal nature of the investigations the RIAA has been conducting through unlicensed investigators (can you say mediasentry scandal?)
Now, the judge who had been just routinely signing the RIAA’s ex parte discovery orders has decided to take a fresh look at the tactics being used by the RIAA. She’s issued a stay of the most recent subpoena, ordering NC state not to answer it.
Now there’s motions to dismiss the case which has been referred to a Magistrate Judge who will re-examine what’s been going on. There’s No telling exactly what’s going to happen next but it sure looks like this one’s going to sting more than a little.
