Because this brief is absolute rubbish. In opposing summary judgment (where the goal is to show there is some material fact in dispute), spending the intro half of the brief on an issue not due until Monday doesn't strike me as crack litigation.<br /><br />Moreover, there's hardly a single case cited in their favor. While I do find some interest in the points regarding the spectrum of commerciality (what does constitute noncommercial copying these days) and the actual registrations at issue (are they really compilations and not individual works?), they get lost in pointless ramblings.<br /><br />I know the Judge is being very lenient considering the only reason Nesson is on the case is because of her, but she must be simply appalled at the work product from the defense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383512304639632735.post-1788519610498750532009-07-17T18:43:35.142-07:002009-07-17T18:43:35.142-07:00What's happening, at this point, is that Nesso...What's happening, at this point, is that Nesson is using this case as a press-release service. These briefs and motions are not intended to actually do anything in re: <i>Sony v. Tenenbaum</i>; they are instead philosophical musings on the nature of copyright, and of property rights, and of creative works. Nesson knew right from the get-go that Tenenbaum was hosed; right now he's just exploiting the machinery of the trial system to improve the distribution of his message.halojones-fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473935330204075559noreply@blogger.com
