  I can't remember, is it just AF Holdings on the hook for this, or is this one of the ones where they got the lawyers also held responsible for the award?

  In related news the appeals court has just denied Prenda's "emergency" motion re the bonds, approved consolidating all of the appeals, and set a briefing schedule.
  
  Information pulled from "One shoe dropping" comment thread at Popehat.

  Next Bus Stop

  Goodhue may have figured out he is the next to go under the bus to join Gibbs, and is trying to delay it any way he can.

  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.

  Filed the wrong registration as well.

  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.

  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,
  
  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.

  Re: Re: Caused to be Served

  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.

  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".
