The RIAA sure doesn’t seem to be having very good luck lately in the courts. A judge today has denied an ex parte motion and is requiring that the RIAA serve the unidentified Columbia University students first before moving forward with the case.

Judge McMahon denies ex parte motion in Columbia University case, Arista v. Does 1-33, requires RIAA to serve "John Does" first. In a new "John Doe" case, Arista v. Does 1-33, brought in Manhattan and targeting Columbia University students, the judge -- District Judge Colleen McMahon -- has refused to sign the RIAA's proposed ex parte discovery order.

Correction to Columbia University story

The previous story which I had published on Arista v. Does 1-33, brought in Manhattan and targeting Columbia University students, was completely wrong. Apparently the judge had signed an ex parte discovery order, which just never found its way into the Court's docket sheet.
 
I just joined Hard OCP so that I could come here and tell you all how sorry I am for the mistake I made. My story about the Columbia University case was totally wrong. I thought the judge had refused to sign the ex parte order. In fact, she had signed it.... it just never found its way into the Court's docket for some reason.

I deeply apologize for my error.

Best regards
Ray
