I gathered that the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment used Judge
Karas's conclusion as precedent and Judge Wake didn't find it compelling
or particularly useful.

The burden for the RIAA to prove an actual infringement now is much
greater and with the prospects for collecting money from Howell are
small but this is the RIAA and intimidation is their game. Perhaps their
only remaining interest is to appeal this decision because it hangs out
there like a really bad fart.

I wonder if Chris is going to say that this decision may have proved
that Fisher at WaPo was right all along...
