Best quote:

"While the Court does not dispute that infringement of a copyright results
in harm, it requires a Coleridgian 'suspension of disbelief' to accept that
the harm is irreparable, especially when monetary damages can cure any
alleged violation," wrote the judge. "On the other hand, the harm related to
disclosure of confidential information in a student or faculty member¹s
Internet files can be equally harmful."
