Defendant moves for summary judgment in Lava Records v. Amurao II

By Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman

In Lava Records v. Amurao II, the RIAA's case against Rolando Amurao's daughter Audrey, the defendant has moved for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, on the basis of the statute of limitations, the insufficiency of the plaintiffs' moving papers, the legal insufficiency of the RIAA's case for "making available", and unconstitutionality of the RIAA's "statutory damages" theory.
