That was a quote from Judge Batts.

ROTFLMAO!! Boy.. How many lies can you make?

Here is what Docket states. Pages 9 and 10 if your following along.

II Discussion

Defendant XM moves to dismiss the Record Companies' Complaint pursuant to Rule 12 (b) (6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The basis for XM's argument for dismissal is that the Record Companies fail to plead facts which would discharge the statutory immunity provided by the AHRA under 17 U.S.C. 1008. The Record Companies argue that the AHRA does not immunize XM from suit for the conduct alleged in their Complaint.

A.Legal Standards
A motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b) (6) requires the district court to accept the factual allegations in the complaint as true and to make all reasonable inferences in the plaintiff's favor.
Friedl v. Ciry of New York, 120 F. 3d 79, 83 (2d Cir. 2000) (citations omitted); Bolt Elec., Inc. v. City of New Youk, 53 F.3d 465, 469 (2d Cir. 1995). A court should grant dismissal only if, after considering plaintiff's allegations in the most generous light, "it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief." Walker v Cty of New York, 974 F. 2d 293, 298 (2d Cir. 1992)..

This "quote" (as he calls it) was taken from the Discussion portion of the Docket under Legal Standards. This is NOT A QUOTE FROM JUDGE BATTS. It is a statement of standard Legal Procedure in Motions to Dismiss.

Let's review Mr. Rays information that he presented as a FACT.

Read the judge's opinion. She made it clear it was not a ruling on the merit of the RIAA's case, and only on whether there is a sufficient case to warrant a trial.

Now let's read the actual opinion of the court/Judge. (skip to Page 15)

At the outset, the Court finds untenable XM's assertion that Section 1008 of the AHRA offers a distributor of a DARD (Digital Audio Recording Device) "absolute immunity" from copyright litigation. (Def. Mem. Law at 2.)

XM is licensed to broadcast the music and is permitting recording outside of live, acutal broadcast. While its license would permit consumers to record from live broadcasts, that does not extend to permitting consumers to record the music, whether or not heard at the time of broadcast, for as long as they pay xm the monthly subscription fee. Whil the "Prohibition on Certain Infringement Actions" provided by Section 1008 may protect XM from suit for actions based on its distribution of a DARD, under a plain reading of the statue, that protection is not a wholesale, blanket protection for any and all conduct.

The protected use of a consure to record music for "noncommercial use" does not contemplate the commercial recording by a broadcaster to be "leased" to the consumer for only as long as s/he pays the subscription fee to that broadcaster. The consumer does not own the recording; if the fee stop, so does the music.

XM claims that the Record Companies "argue that the AHRA does not apply to this case because it is not 'based on' the [XM + MP3 player}" (Def. Repl. Mem. Law at 5) Actaully, what the Plaintiffs make clear in their Complaint is the XM is acting without authorization as a commerical content delivery provider to those devices - not that XM is infringing on their copyrights by distributing a DARD.

Let's read that statement from the Court/Judge one more time..

Actaully, what the Plaintiffs make clear in their Complaint is that XM is acting without authorization as a commerical content delivery provider to those devices - not that XM is infringing on their copyrights by distributing a DARD.

LOL!! Let's see the Court used the following statements.

The Court found XM's assertions "UNTENABLE" , and stated that the RIAA MAKE CLEAR in their complaint is that XM is acting without authorization as a commercial content delivery provider.

Only a moron could interpet that as...

"the Judge "MADE IT CLEAR" that she was not ruling on the merit of the RIAA's case.

Now!! Go run away Mr. Ray as you always do when I prove what a LIAR and BS artist you are!

And so it goes
