duckie Will the RIAA Racketeering Lawsuit go into "Discovery" whether or not it is subsequently dismissed?
Background: Many online bloggers and news sources including Wired and Ars Technica have been closely following the case of Tanya Andersen, an Oregon woman who has re-filed a previously dismissed countersuit against the RIAA. Their primary source of interest isn'tt on whether or not the case becomes a class action lawsuit but instead WHETHER OR NOT IT GOES INTO DISCOVERY. If the Lawsuit goes into discovery; that is to say that the RIAA is required to reveal the details of their litigation and research techniques, specifically as involves their use of IP addresses in identifying possible downloaders, this market will be settled as a yes.
Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source.
Necessary and sufficient condition for this market to be settled as a yes is that a major mainstream news source reports one of the following: 1. the judge has ruled that the case should go into discovery mode. 2. The judge has required the RIAA to reveal the inner workings of their litigation process, with or without actually using the term "discovery."

What they wanted to do, my client did not want to do. Thomas clearly wants to force the RIAA back to trial, where they may be hard-pressed to prove diddly, since they have deprived of their making available theory of copyright infringement. Judge Michael
