In a follow-up to the post on InternetMovies.com and the MPAA, the U.S. Supreme court has recently denied certiorari in Rossi v. MPAA, a DMCA case last heard by the Ninth Circuit in December 2004.

According to this Andrews' article, the attorney for plaintiff Michael Rossi petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case, arguing that InternetMovies.com was/is an online magazine entitled to full First Amendment protections.

In an unusual move, "The MPAA waived its right to file an opposition brief." The article does not make clear whether this right was affirmatively or involuntarily waived, but it's doubtful that the filing deadline accidentally slipped by the MPAA's counsel.
