The bigger question is whether the professor can get a Federal judge to agree.

You have to love the spin....as quoted from the linked to article:

However, the full article that's based on can be found here:

The Professor's lawsuit is in regards to the way the RIAA enforces copyright through the courts to which I can agree. It doesn't have anything to do with the act of illegally downloading files you don't own.
