i presume this means the suit against the riaa will now move to the next phase, and the association will immediately summon every ounce of every asset it has to defend itself.
there is much at stake now. they're not just facing a monetary loss. if they lose the industry group itself may be destroyed, as well as any other similarly structured entity, like the mpaa for instance.
this is the eye of the storm:

the justice dept is going to go crazy. they won't care that this is a citizen defending herself against an out of control monopoly but will react as if it is nothing less than an attack against business, and for many in the establishment an attack against business is an attack against america, even if that business is itself assaulting the very people for whom those in government have sworn to serve.
