Defendant had verdict reversed on appeal, court said evidence a file was actually shared was needed vs merely making the file available.
RIAA tried to get that set aside, lost again.
Check out the (partial) trial transcript excerpt near the bottom of this article, nasty lawyers for the defense:

RIAA says it has evidence the file was actually shared, but may not be up for a retrial against this defense team.

It does?

If the evidence is the fact that they, themselves downloaded it, then they are in for another surprise, if they do go to court with it...
