RIAA Asks for Blanket Gag Order Before Attending Depositions in UMG v.
Lindor; Ms. Lindor's Lawyers Refuse, Ask Judge to Compel Depositions

In UMG v. Lindor the RIAA has refused to go forward with letting the
defendant's lawyers take plaintiffs' depositions without a blanket
confidentiality stipulation making all of the contents of the deposition
transcripts confidential.

In view of the strong public interest in these cases, Ms. Lindor's lawyers
refused to agree to such a stipulation.

Instead they have made a motion to compel the plaintiffs to appear for their
depositions, without any preconditions.

In the alternative, Ms. Lindor's lawyers said they would consent to a
limited order that would give the RIAA 10 days after receiving a copy of the
transcript to object to specific portions of it being disclosed.
