James Dean famously answered, "Whatdya got?" <br /><br />Ray Beckerman is clearly furious about something, apparently doesn't deal with it directly and so channels his anger against an entire entertainment industry that is very much the envy of the civilized world. In a professional chain long on education, experience, clear thinking and evenhandedness and by his own free hand, Ray Beckerman renders himself a very weak and public link.

Both sides in this case are already planning their appeals and fully expect this case, no matter the verdict, to go to the appeals court. <br /><br />It makes sense to preserve every single opportunity, even if it means parroting arguments that you know will be defeated so you can reraise them later.<br /><br />It's a pretty obvious tactic and I agree that Beckerman was off the mark on this one.Jonathan Baileyhttp://www.plagiarismtoday.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383512304639632735.post-14531101297616363302009-06-04T03:17:41.152-07:002009-06-04T03:17:41.152-07:00Beckerman loves to throw tirades about how unethic...Beckerman loves to throw tirades about how unethical and terrible the counsel for the recording industry are. Yet, if he'd take one step back from pumping up his own ego by playing to the passions of an uninformed internet audience, he'd realize that he's so blinded by a seething hated of the industry that he ignores basic facts, law, or reason that disagree with his entrenched worldview. For an attorney, that is a crippling weakness, and it is one of the many reasons I would rather go pro se than have him representing me in any action.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
