RIAA Lawsuit Rejected for Failure to State a Claim

I came across an article today that contains  an interesting example of civil procedure in the Copyright infringement suits that the RIAA is using to stop/limit file sharing.     It was neat to see rules of pleadings discussed in this context, which is related to the industry I work in.

 

Basically, the RIAA was not granted a default judgment  because they had used a boilerplate complaint.
