Judge denied to dismiss Aimster's charges against music industry

26 June 2001 15:01 by Petteri "dRD" Pyyny

U.S. District Judge Lawrence Kahn on Friday denied to dismiss a lawsuit against RIAA and 17 music companies filed by Aimster. He also refused to move the case from Albany, NY to Manhattan, where 36 companies filed two subsequent copyright-infringement suits against Aimster.

In the lawsuit filed Aimster is seeking a declaratory judgement that it doesn't violate recording copyrights by allowing music files to be shared over its P2P service.
