: Recording Industry vs The PeopleFree Software Foundation moves for leave to file revised amicus brief in Tenenbaum; brief argues RIAA statutory damages theory unconstitutional
By Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman
In SONY BMG Music Entertainment v. Tenenbaum, the Free Software Foundation has sought leave to file a revised amicus curiae brief, arguing that the RIAA's stautory damages theory fails to comport with Due Process standards for punitive awards.
The brief is substantially similar to the brief that had been filed by the Free Software Foundation earlier this week in a Philadelphia case, SONY BMG Music Entertainment v. Cloud.
