[LINK] web: Stunning blow for Dallas Buyers Club in copyright case - Computerworld

[John Mann]

Hi,

I loved this paragraph near the end of the judgement
---
36 For the future, in cases where preliminary discovery is sought against
persons such as ISPs
with a view to contacting a large class of potential defendants, it will be
an essential step in
that process that the prospective applicant discharge at the hearing of the
application the
burden of proving that it seeks preliminary discovery for a purpose
countenanced by r 7.22
and, in particular, that it put on evidence of the nature of the demands or
claims it proposes to
make. ...
---

Applicant must disclose their proposed demands against users before
preliminary discovery!

Thanks,
    John
