If it's Massachusetts, tell them you don't have one, and demand the discount anyway. It's illegal for them to deny you the discount just because you don't have their silly card- they'll usually immediately run a "courtesy card" that they claim is for when people forget them, but it's really because the MA laws make them give you the discount.

RIAA "Making Available" Theory Rejected 168

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday April 01, 2008 @03:56PM from the complaint-without-a-complaint dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "In a 25-page decision (PDF) which has been awaited for two years in Elektra v. Barker, Judge Kenneth M. Karas has rejected the RIAA's 'making available' theory and its 'authorization' theory, but sustained the sufficiency of the complaint's allegations of 'distribution' and 'downloading,' and also gave the RIAA 30 days to cure the defects in its complaint by filing a new complaint. The judge left it open for the RIAA to allege that defendant made an 'offer to distribute,' and that the offer was for "'the purpose of further distribution,' which, the judge held, would be actionable."
