Both sides move for summary judgment in Arista v. Limewire

By Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman

Papers have been filed in Arista v. LimeWire which appear to be asking for summary judgment.

[Ed. note. We were unable to ascertain, from glancing at them, what the motions are all about. We were unable to find any memorandum of law from the plaintiffs, and the defendants filed two memoranda of law, one with all the substance "redacted". Accordingly, we have not prepared links to these papers, but have put many of the documents online for people who want to spend their time wading through them, in the following directory: http://beckermanlegal.com/Limewire/. However, I do not recommend that you do so. I regret the time and money I spent retrieving these from PACER. I have a hunch there won't be anything interesting until the trial. -R.B.]
