I think judges should have some basic knowledge of what they are ruling on so he can make an intelligent/reasonable ruling. This ruling, if I understood correctly, hinges on the fact that TorrentSpy doesn't log users. It would seem since they are being sued, and there is the issue of discovery why didn't the judge order them to turn on their logs instead? If she had any basic idea of how RAM really works I don't see how she would have ruled the way she did. I know people that still don't know the difference between RAM and diskspace (That other memory :)). Once I've explained the difference, they have a better understanding of why some things are saved and others are not if their computer locks up or reboots.
It just seems wrong that any business should have to dump money into a process that is being used so that they can incriminate themselves. It's one thing to subpoena documents that already exists, it's quite another to have to create the incriminating evidence for the one suing you.
