And thank you...Fascinating to watch this play out. And thank you Ben for your clear reporting on this most interesting topic! <br />As with Thomas, the defense really has no defense. It is really interesting to see our courts work their way through copyright challenges. More than one commentator on the blogs have made the point that this is a legislative issue - not a legal issue.Capn Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11757048171849898205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383512304639632735.post-9850178220909343222009-07-03T22:49:25.413-07:002009-07-03T22:49:25.413-07:00Thank you for an interesting (and as always concis...Thank you for an interesting (and as always concise) insight into the - from an international legal perspective - wacky and quite surreal US civil procedures that both respondents and plaintiffs have to go through.<br /><br />I suspect this case more than any other will be watched with interest and quite a lot of "thank gawd it's not us as the solicitors" by the international legal fraternity.<br /><br />I look forward to your reporting (oops..blogging *g*) of this case.G Thompsonhttp://twitter.com/alpharianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383512304639632735.post-17117888851650478852009-07-03T16:25:04.400-07:002009-07-03T16:25:04.400-07:00If Mr. Tenenbaum is "up the creek" it in...If Mr. Tenenbaum is "up the creek" it in my view is the direct result of his thumbing his nose at the law when he made the decision to download and share protected content. While his defense team is certainly not doing him any favors by their "unusual" approach to his defense, the simple fact of the matter seems to be that they are in the unenviable position of (pardon my borrowing of a recent political phrase) "trying to put lipstick on a pig".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383512304639632735.post-59488764289955692532009-07-03T12:49:00.535-07:002009-07-03T12:49:00.535-07:00Right.

I haven't seen all the evidence, but from what I know, I think the plaintiffs are going to have a very strong motion, which would be tough to oppose in 4 weeks, let alone 4 days. And remember: Tenenbaum's actual computer/network expert is in The Netherlands, which will complicate working with him to put together a declaration to oppose summary judgment.Ben Sheffnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06477793715765992689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383512304639632735.post-68527751296393068432009-07-03T12:34:15.961-07:002009-07-03T12:34:15.961-07:00Yikes.

It's almost as though they view the actual judgement as a forgone conclusion and want to get straight to the appeal.Bruce Boydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247768315353108904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383512304639632735.post-9842314661444884632009-07-03T12:19:14.562-07:002009-07-03T12:19:14.562-07:00Thank you for this informative summary.

Since most infringement cases seem not to get past either the preliminary injunction or summary judgment phases, this provides some needed insight.Copycensehttp://www.copycense.comnoreply@blogger.com
