Judge says he gave faulty instructions

(NEWSER) - The judge who presided over America's first music file-sharing trial might call for a do-over, the AP reports.

(NEWSER) - After five years of suing everyone from single mothers to teenage girls for illegally sharing music files, the recording industry is dropping the legal campaign that has ensnared 35,000 individuals, the Wall Street Journal reports.
