Right from this article.

"The trial was an almost entirely one-sided affair. Plaintiffs built their case with forensic evidence collected by MediaSentry, which showed that he was sharing over 800 songs from his computer on August 10, 2004. A subsequent examination of his computer showed that Tenenbaum had used a variety of different peer-to-peer programs, from Napster to KaZaA to AudioGalaxy to iMesh, to obtain music for free, starting in 1999. And he continued to infringe, even after his father warned him in 2002 that he would get sued, even after he received a harshly-worded letter from the plaintiffs? law firm in 2005, even after he was sued in 2007, and all the way through part of 2008.
And when he took the stand on Thursday, Tenenbaum admitted it all, including the fact that he had ?lied? in his written discovery responses and at his first deposition in September 2008"
He got on the stand and admitted everything he has been up to. If he really thought he had a fair use argument and was not allowed to use it wouldn't he have just stayed off the stand then made sure to use that arguement in his appeal?
If you go on the stand and admit that you have sold drugs to a bunch of people, you get found guilty of selling drugs. If you go on the stand and admit that you robbed a bank, you get found guilty of robbing a bank. This guy admitted his guilt. Case is closed.
