Expect this case to be appealed
Since the judge basically said "NYAH! NYAH!
NYAH! I don't want to hear it!"

The fact is that there is a VERY easy
justification for this under fair use: That the
recording companies are ALREADY offering their
music for no cost by playing it over FM radio,
and that a difference in 'quality' is not
enough to make something illegal.

Really, they are also right that copyright is
dead or should be dead. There is no reason to
have copyrights of 25 years to life on
ANYTHING. Maybe 3-5 years on different things.
