Here's the discussion from a few days ago:

In short, and quoting from the comments there:

* it was pretty obviously going to be dismissed,

* it exposes the nonsense maths that is being used in these situations.

* this story is old, and the case was settled for substantially less than all the money in the world:

* went on until on May 13, 2011, when Gorton agreed to pay the 13 record companies $105 million in an out-of-court settlement. " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LimeWire

This is nothing new, nor does the article add much insight
