Copyright Law

Rhode Island hearing adjourned to January 6th in Tenenbaum

By Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman

We are advised that the Rhode Island hearing in SONY BMG Music v. Tenenbaum, over the RIAA's attempt to compel production of Mr. Tenenbaum's parents' computer, was adjourned to January 6th, due to the need for Prof. Nesson to apply for pro haec vice admission to the Rhode Island District Court. We are also advised that the RIAA made a motion to enjoin Mr. Tenenbaum's parents from using their computer in the interim, which the Court denied.
