RIAA Lobbyist Turned Judge Backpedals On BitTorrent Cases
Quote:
In the ongoing mass-BitTorrent lawsuits, last month U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell laid down a landmark verdict in favor of copyright holders. The verdict was widely publicized, but put in doubt after it was uncovered that the Judge was a former RIAA lobbyist. This critique appears to have had an effect. In two new orders in the same cases, Howell has now backpedaled on her earlier stance.

really want to name one who ruled this way after Federal judge Milton Shadur declared

Quote:
"No predicate has been shown for thus combining 300 separate actions on the cheap. If CP had sued the 300 claimed infringers separately for their discrete infringements, the filing fees alone would have aggregated $105,000 rather than $350."
while you might be able to find judges who ruled this way before the federal ruling, (before the precedent was set) she is the first judge and currently only judge who has over ridden that ruling.

she now backpeddled .
