The RIAA has a habit of citing our blog to judges, so please keep comments dignified and worthy of the important issues we are discussing, in keeping with our comment policies. If you see a violation of the policies, please let me know by email. You can post anonymously, but must sign off by giving us something to call you. Conversations among several people called "Anonymous" get too confusing. Thanks. Best regards. -Ray
Based on the examples that do not even constitute the whole of the mistakes the Plaintiffs have made as set forth in the counterclaim, Plaintiff EMI appears to be incredibly sloppy about their filing of DMCA notices and seems to believe that only their own interpretation of the DMCA Safe Harbor provisions should apply.
ReplyDeleteThis man wonders how Plaintiff EMIs lawyers ever graduated law school and got such an unrealistic vision of the world it would be whatever they wanted it to be that day. They are probably all Democrats.
