[Infowarrior] - Obama DOJ sides with RIAA

[Richard Forno]

Obama's Justice Department intervenes on side of RIAA in SONY BMG  
Music Entertainment v. Tenenbaum

In its first opportunity to demonstrate its position on the  
constitutionality of the Copyright Act's statutory damages provisions  
as applied to mp3 files having a market value of 99 cents or less, the  
Obama Justice Department -- staffed by RIAA lawyers in its 2nd and 3rd  
highest positions -- has filed a motion for intervention and brief in  
SONY BMG Music Entertainment v. Tenenbaum which attempts to support  
the RIAA's statutory damages theory.
