From a link to the copyright office registration file, if they own the 3D Re-Animation, they filed the registration for the wrong movie as well. Do they not really know what movie they produced, is someone else engaged in fraud, or do torrentfreak have some wrong info about what movie is which.

I sincerely hope that the next piece of Prenda news that we hear is that the the office have been raided and all records seized. A simultaneous raid of the forensics company, and the home of the the sister and Salt Marsh would just be icing on the cake.
Well organized and done post. Thanks for the effort. It gives us a feel of the attitude of Judge Wright, and just how POed and on top of things he really is. I can't wait for his ruling, and your write up on it.
I thought she was called because she continued to call the ISP demanding compliance after the notice was supposedly sent. I fear Prenda has her picked as the sacrificial lamb for this.
Of course this begs the question, when already in hot water with a judge, would he not confirm that the notice had in fact been sent before putting it in a declaration some 4 months later.
The term that Gibbs uses implies that he did not send the notice himself but instructed someone else to do it. Of course the term also implies they followed his instruction. It will be interesting to watch the finger pointing when the questioning about the Verizon declaration comes up.
It would be nice if the judge responded by denying all requests other than the Travel Pay/Pay to appear and ordered Prenda to pay it directly, not as a billable expense to their client.
According to this the only one getting paid is the forensics company at a flat $6,000 a month. You got to be providing a lot of very good IP addresses to be worth $6,000 a month.
Paul Hansmeier missed his true calling. After spending way too much time last night reading the depo, I haven't seen tap dancing that entertaining since the duet by Gregory Hines and Mikhail Baryshnikov in "White Nights".
I would think with the recent news that the Netherlands was doing away with Database rights, and making more efforts to make their IP laws make some type of sense that the IIPA would be pushing to have them on it.
If you had said (certainly any over about 100 employees) I might think you are right. Many companies with fewer employees look at that recurring annual cost versus the price of a boxed set, and opt for the boxed set and operate with different versions depending making a support problem for those of us handling it. I've tried repeatedly to get my company of about 25 employees to go the licensing route but they look at the cost and tell me to deal with the mixed environment.
It would be nice if when the Opinion is published that it said only. "After careful consideration the court decided that 'Public Document' actually meant 'Public'".
This is a fairly short Techdirt post. I was going to show how unrealistic the law was by counting the words in the post, but when I got to 156 in the first paragraph I changed my mind.
The judge actually said: "A reasonable investigation should include evidence showing the defendants downloaded the entire copyrighted work - or at least a usable portion of a copyrighted work."
Rule 1 was TorrentLawyers paraphrasing of that. I think the point is since torrents are a mess of fragments that are not in order, that you need to show they got at least something watchable.
Re: Missing a few letters there, Tim
The area with the dashed version is shown to be a quote to the Christian Scientist article linked directly above it.
It is an accurate quote of their modified quote.
Re: Filed the wrong registration as well.
First sorry about the double post.
Second WDS thinks WDS desperately needs a proofreader.

Not insightful words, but words.
Raid
I sincerely hope that the next piece of Prenda news that we hear is that the the office have been raided and all records seized. A simultaneous raid of the forensics company, and the home of the the sister and Salt Marsh would just be icing on the cake.
Well Organized
Ken,

Re: Caused to be Served
Commenting on my own comment, sorry.
Of course this begs the question, when already in hot water with a judge, would he not confirm that the notice had in fact been sent before putting it in a declaration some 4 months later.
Caused to be Served
The term that Gibbs uses implies that he did not send the notice himself but instructed someone else to do it. Of course the term also implies they followed his instruction. It will be interesting to watch the finger pointing when the questioning about the Verizon declaration comes up.
Travel Pay
It would be nice if the judge responded by denying all requests other than the Travel Pay/Pay to appear and ordered Prenda to pay it directly, not as a billable expense to their client.
Getting Paid
According to this the only one getting paid is the forensics company at a flat $6,000 a month. You got to be providing a lot of very good IP addresses to be worth $6,000 a month.
Tap Dance
Paul Hansmeier missed his true calling. After spending way too much time last night reading the depo, I haven't seen tap dancing that entertaining since the duet by Gregory Hines and Mikhail Baryshnikov in "White Nights".
No Netherlands?
I would think with the recent news that the Netherlands was doing away with Database rights, and making more efforts to make their IP laws make some type of sense that the IIPA would be pushing to have them on it.

The Opinion
