postheadericon Prenda Law Tries To Close The Barn Door After The Horse Has Lawyered Up

Ken White

Popehat blogs. He is a litigator and criminal defense lawyer and white Newhouse Brown LLP in Los Angeles. His views are his alone and not those of the company.

My previous coverage of the law Pledge saga is here.

Yesterday, March 14, according to Judge Wright held issuance of a new order to show cause to guide clients and lawyers affiliated Turn right to appear before him, was too busy pledge Act .

More specifically, the law Pledge - Paul Duffy, Lawyer Judge Wright ordered to appear - was busy dismissing the case and submit a "notice of claim" inform other courts that happens. Almost.

An informant told me that Mr. Duffy was a busy day yesterday. PACER has proven to be true. Specifically, Mr. Duffy filed voluntary redundancies several cases of AF Holdings LLC in the Northern District of Illinois - here and here and here (which is provided to close the case


with Prejudice

meaning can not be re-presented) and here. In a case that has provided notification of dismissal despite investment AF

already obtained a rebellion against the defendant,

leaving nothing to prove damages. I have not counted all cases where layoffs Duffy presented yesterday.

In each case - and in one case in the Northern District of California - Duffy also presented a paper about the same style "notice of claim". That's what they all say:

applicant informed the Court on charges of forgery made during a hearing in a case pending before the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Ingenuity13 LLC vs. John Doe, No. 2:12-cv-08333-JC-OWD (CD Cal. March 11, 2013). On 11 March 2013, an individual named Alan Cooper claimed that his signature was forged on two separate agreements granting rights of copyright works other than the applicant, including the assignment in question in this case. (See ECF No. 1-2 of 2.) An applicant categorically denies the allegations of Mr. Cooper, who come almost two years after some of the alleged conduct. Mr. Cooper has a pecuniary interest in their claims under a lawsuit he filed against the applicant. Cooper v. Steele, et al., No. 27-CV-13-3463 (Minn. Dist. Ct., Hennepin Cty., 2013).

Even if the allegations of Mr. Cooper was true, and not the candidate dispositions, including the allocation issue in the instant action, remain valid. The formal requirements of the assignment of copyright is "very simple": a writing signed by the transferor. 17 USC  204; Effects Associates, Inc. v. Cohen, 908 F. 2d 555, 557 (9th Cir 1990.) ("The rule is really the case: 1:12-cv-03567 Document simple: If the copyright holder agrees to transfer the property to a third party, the third must obtain the copyright holder to sign a piece of paper saying it does not have to be the Constitution. proforma line will "). see also Order, AF Holdings LLC v. Does 1-96, No. 11-cv-3335-JSC (ND Cal. November 22, 2011), ECF No. 29-5 n.1 ("The assignment Rights Copyright recites writing between the owner of the copyright, Killer Films, following the applicant, AF Holdings, LLC .... As the law only requires that the allocation will be signed by the transferor and the transferee, this incompatibility prevents prima facie ownership of copyright. ") (internal citations omitted).

Mr. Cooper complaints concern the transferor and the transferee. The mission in question in this action meets the formal requirements of the Act Copyright. It is a written document signed by the transferor. Applicant's rights to the copyrighted work in this action have been transferred when the work was performed transferor.

applicant's complaints of Mr. Cooper seriously and investigate its contents. Because Mr. Cooper claims concerning the sale contract at issue in this case, the Applicant respectfully refer the matter to the attention of the Court.

Broken down, this is what Duffy said: (1) the application of Cooper is false, (2), but we try to pretend seriously and studied, (3), but even if c ' true, does not matter, because the assignment requires a valid signature of the person giving the property, not the person who receives the property.

There are many things I could say about this argument. Among them: the first two are strangely at war with each other, in particular when such proximity. If AF Investments knows the accusation is true, then what exactly is carefully considered investment AF? AF Holdings do not know if Mr. Cooper agreed to be official documents and executed do? What should investigate, exactly?

Duffy
third point is a doctrine that lawyers - including, for example, prosecutors and defense lawyers - call

materiality

civil laws more or prohibiting criminal. false statements only extending materials
false statements - ie, statements that are the kind that could make a difference in the object. Preview Duffy defense seems to suggest that the law Pledge well Identify Cooper was hijacked and forged signature on missions, which was perjury

Want

DRM with it?

Tags: President: DRM is a strategy that has failed, but did not SimCity DRM

'm depressed. I mean, we all had a good time making fun of EA at launch highly anticipated SimCity disastrous. But now the dust has settled, guess what is the best video game sale on Amazon.com - despite nearly two thousand (85%) 1 star opinions. Yeah I think I'll be wiping the egg on his face all the way to the bank. If you're one of dozens of players like unreservedly new SimCity, EA is happy for you. If you're among the rest, EA is happy to take your money, and still trying to convince him that the game is the fact that you really wanted. Consequently, during the night, decided that DRM is not good, do not use it. Norman, together!

true purpose of DRM rights holders rent a veto on new technologies

Here are some straight talk about the real purpose of DRM, in case you are not clear. (Tip: When you press play, would you see this movie you paid you sure you do not wish to attend a five minute unskippable advertising first)

garbage in the yard

I have two new heroes. I found a place I did not expect: to work in the fields of law and the legal profession.

HansMeier Peter Denies Connection Via Pledge case of documents showing that you are connected to cases

would be a sad week passed without news from our partners. You will recall that Judge Otis Wright - one of my new heroes mentioned - invited the team to act casual clothing to meet and greet in her room. The main actors HansMeier Paul, Paul Duffy and John Steele does not appear - sleep a whole night SimCity suppose - sent lawyers to appear for them. Also invited to these festivities was HansMeier Peter's brother, Paul. Like his brother, Peter was a no-show, but also send a lawyer to recover their party favors. Nobody can understand why, as he was hiring lawyers and other things, brother did not help one another. But someone found the note to Judge Peter asks to be excused, saying that the head of the company who have no relationship with the company. So now we have a new slogan for anyone trying to sneak something unpleasant: "Hey, do not look at me - I live in Minnesota!"

Orin Kerr and FEP members representing AT & T Hacker WEEV "Pro Bono when called

Orin Kerr

is my new hero another. We saw last week to answer questions at a hearing of the Judiciary Committee. When it was suggested that we should allow the malware to attack a remote user to a computer, provided that the user is a pirate, Kerr patiently explained that "nobody knows who the hacker is." He knew what he was talking about, and he seemed a really nice guy all the time. Someone who wants to talk to me in my defense, and now he is assuming the defense of a type that most accounts is not as good, but he was sent to prison for the equivalent of copy numbers in a telephone directory. I think this is a very important matter, and Kerr all appropriate arguments.

instead of fixing

The CFAA House Judiciary Committee planning for worse ... Way worse

I can not say that this post was fun to read, but the subject is important. This is an analysis of a proposed amendment to the CFAA. This law really needs to be renovated, but this proposal is how to solve the problem of squirrels in the attic for the release of a group of pit bulls. There are links to a more detailed analysis, and you should read as much work as you can take. This is all very depressing, so when you're tired, go to this article. It lifts your spirits, I promise.

postheadericon Electrosensitivity: is technology killing us?

Is modern life we ??make a mistake? Yes, say those who suffer from EHS. Are cranks, or should we all be wasting our cell phones?

Tim Hallam is high enough to get a strange feeling. Its height makes the room feel even smaller than it is. Sunlight filtered through gauze gray mud clinging to his window. Its seems to be narrow bed covered with a mosquito net shiny silver. The door and the ceiling are covered with aluminum foil. Tim told me that there is also a layer of paper as wallpaper and as a result wood flooring. He said. "The room is quite alone edges are sealed with aluminum tape and bound to make the film so that he can land the entire room is a Faraday cage, earthed effectively contributes to the low-frequency radiation , high frequency, apparently .. just bounce out. "

Tim tries to escape artificial atmospheric radiation caused by the Wi-Fi phone signals, radio and even TV screens and fluorescent bulbs. This is an impossible task, he admits: "It is very difficult to get out and take a toll on my life." I move my phone out of the room and he happily accepts, closing the door firmly. It explains that the phone would have continued the search for a signal. "And because nobody is, he would keep rise." With the sheet inside the cage, the cascade of signals in the room like a bird frightened.

Tim

estimated ? 1,000 spent in isolation, taking photos every step of sharing with others through EHS British society sick. He found the whole process stressful, especially after a dream summer in the garden of his house in Leamington Spa shared to avoid a new roommate powerful wireless router How do you feel about the roommate at the time ? "Oh, I hated it. Actually it was not him, of course. But I was so angry." Tim knows the symptoms - headache, muscle aches, dry eyes - no forgetfulness and irritability. Now says his bed is the most important thing he owns. "I'll zip and so I'm completely sealed. Inside, I sleep very well. Without it, my fragmented sleep and without sleep, then a bunch of other things that go wrong. "

Tim

demonstrates the effectiveness of the tin foil with a call Elektrosmog radiation detector made in Germany. These blocks and black, which makes it look both retro and futuristic. On the front of the box, a picture of a tower surrounded by lightning black robust. The machine gives a reading near zero: Tim Hall is a radiation free

As a child in the 70s, I saw BBC science-fiction series entitled The changes, which envisioned a future after the man became allergic to electricity. Towers were the greatest danger, which makes people ill. In cross country, I want to accelerate when I had to go to a power cord, feeling the weight of electricity buzzing above me. The idea that electromagnetic fields on our health has taken root in the 1960s. An American doctor named Robert O Becker became the face of the campaign against pylons after his appearance on American TV show 60 minutes. Professor Andrew Marino, now Louisiana State University, Becker was a partner laboratory. Marino said: "This is why nobody wants to live near power lines."

If electromagnetic radiation is harmful to humans, it is more likely today than 40 years ago, thanks to the telecommunications industry. More than one billion people in the world with mobile phones. In the UK, there are more mobile than those contracts. The 4G spectrum will cover 98% of the country, wiping out all but the most remote areas of "no."

Dr Mireille Toledano works

Cosmos, 30, five country study of the effects of radiation on human communications. She knows how things are changing rapidly. In 2000, a 10-year study on mobile phones and brain tumors related intensive for at least 30 minutes per day. The study showed that the 90th percentile spent 1640 hours of their lives on their phones. UK, Toledano said, "is now defined heavy use of 86 minutes per day, 30 minutes is the average of all [Cosmos international study], 10% of users have clocked up 4160 hours or more .. "

earlier study found no evidence linking phone use and cancer in the short term, however, that our love affair with technology continues to grow, concerns are growing . Two years ago, the European Assembly adopted Resolution 1815, which, among other things, calls for restrictions on the free Wi-Fi in schools and the use of mobile phones by children. The World Health has classified electromagnetic fields of the type used in mobile telephony as a Group 2B carcinogen -. It is, as possibly carcinogenic

The issue of electromagnetic sensitivity is directly political. Place the patient on the other side of the industry and governments to benefit wavelength leasing. Again and again I heard the phrase "We are the canaries in the coal mine": the sick that we are approaching a turning point. Hallam Tim is concerned about the effects of electromagnetic fields on the most vulnerable: the young family, sister, children in schools bathed in rays WiFi, or older people in sheltered housing, each with its own Internet router. "I think it affects cells throughout the world. Experiments showing the probe are DNA damage and affects the blood-brain barrier. Believe that there will be an increase in people who are sensitive in the coming years. But my sister did not fully on board. "

However, electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome is controversial. Sweden recognizes EHS as a "functional impairment" or a disability, but they are patients, not doctors, who made the diagnosis. The fact is that everyone suffers self-diagnosis EHS -. And each has its own story to explain the cause of their problems

Tim was 15, at a concert of the band of sheep industrial drugs, when the singer pulled out a gun and shot the ceiling space. Tim, who is now 36, said: "It was the loudest he had ever heard." His ears were ringing, but kept going to shows without earplugs and the problem worsened. She played the clarinet in two bands, but had to stop "immediately put an end to my musical life and my social life." Today, his sister is a professional classical musician. Tim, a graduate of Cambridge, is a van driver for Asda. He works in the turn to speak while their roommates are out of the house and free Wi-Fi and telephone. It was the advent of Wi-Fi home, only 10 months, prompting Tim to identify the cause of your problems, but it was tinnitus that started it all.

Michelle Berriedale-Johnson has worked in the field of food intolerances and allergies for over 20 years. Price leads the industry "free" food in the house northwest of London and foodsmatter.com, a website that promotes awareness of food intolerances. Five years ago, at the age of 60, she began to feel ill. She was sitting at her desk when he identified the cause. "I looked up and there were phone masts Royal Free Hospital on top, smiling directly through my window, and it clicked." Michelle is bright and cheerful, happy dive under your desk to show that you have taken precautions to protect themselves against spaghetti son. Its walls are painted with carbon coated aluminum foil and set aside. The windows have the same networks as Tim, but when she uses her Elektrosmog meters, she discovers to his dismay that the network is old and no longer works. Its rooms buzzing against electromagnetic radiation, although his office - now at the back of the house - displays readings much better. She said: "I am fortunate to work at home, but I often feel like a prisoner." When she left home, she wears hats like material covered with mosquito netting and even Tim blouses made of the same material . "The important thing is to protect the chest and head high," she said.

Michelle
Dr James Rubin, Kings College Institute of Psychiatry is convinced ESS is not a real syndrome. "With most conditions, patients do not necessarily know what happens. Electrosensitivity But no absolute certainty as to the cause. Self-diagnosis is at the center of it." He prefers the term "idiopathic environmental intolerance" or IEI, covering conditions without obvious cause, such as multiple chemical sensitivity, the sick building syndrome, food intolerances - even a physical reaction to wind turbines. "The problem is that if you are looking for a consistent set of symptoms, they will not find. You may even find that the symptoms of people change over time. Lot of them have other intolerances, more electrical sensitivity. "

Tim is intolerant to milk and gluten. He is also allergic to wool, and you can not sleep in a room with a carpet. Michelle has not intolerance, but recognizes that is rare in the community ". Most people "She made her diagnosis because she was familiar with EHS through her work. Investigation is close to Rubin and blogs that condemn their methods." They called stupid provocation studies that showed a phone in his hand and ask if you feel bad if he says yes, they will, ho-ho, the phone does not turn on. "These tests do not pay attention to how people are sensitized, or respond to their sensitivity in different ways, she says.

Rubin is a coconut in the community through an electro article published in 2008 suggests that the condition was psychosomatic. However, he also conducted a review of all research - more than 50 studies of provocation - and found no evidence of radiation sensitivity telecommunications. He said: "The suffering is real - no doubt - and I take it very seriously, but we have spent millions of dollars on research and the time comes when you have to say, in the future, the money would be better spent. in the search for effective treatments, rather than pursue a cause.
