ArsTechnica: In the case of UMG v. Lindor,
the defendants are asking some tough questions of the RIAA about its
own use of p2p networks for sending music to radio stations, questions
that the RIAA doesn't want to answer.
With UMG v. Lindor, the defendant is taking a
hitherto unseen course: investigating the possible use of P2P network
by RIAA member companies. On July 25, the judge directed UMG Recordings
Inc. to answer a defendant's interrogatory concerning P2P usage by its
employees. The RIAA objected to this line of questioning in part on the
grounds that it was "not relevant to the claim or defense of any
party," "not relevant to the subject matter involved in this action,"
and is not "reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of
admissible evidence." The judge didn't find the RIAA's objections
convincing and ordered them to respond.
