Aimster Fails to Get Supreme Court Cert

Posted by Ernest Miller

C|Net News reports that the Supreme Court of the United States has, unsurprisingly, denied cert with regard to the Aimster case (High court turns deaf ear to Aimster). Given the procedural standing of the case (appeal of a preliminary injunction), the fact that similar issues are being litigated in other circuits, and the Supreme Court takes very few cases anyway, the cert request was a major longshot. Nevertheless, this is good news. As noted in previous coverage (Miller to Deep: What Derek Said and Madster Seeks Supreme Court Cert), this would have been the wrong file sharing case to bring before the justices.
