Richie Ramone was Robbed!

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Richie Ramone, one of the drummers for The Ramones, lost his fight to get paid for 6 songs he wrote because a judge said that digital files are not “manufactured or sold” but are instead transmitted and licensed.

Wha? So when I pay someone (e.g., Apple) to “buy” a song, and I download the song and do whatever I want with it (listen to it, share it, give it someone as a gift, etc.), I did not “buy” it? Apple did not “sell” the digital file to me? Sure, music from iTunes and other online music retailers has restrictions, but they are easy to circumvent and hardly change the fact that the digital file is “sold” in an online music transaction. Except, apparently, according to this judge, that’s not true.

See why I don’t practice copyright law?

Let it end!

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

Today is finally the day of the Democratic presidential primary in Pennsylvania. Keep your fingers crossed that today will finally put an end to the godawful self-swiftboating the Democratic party has been giving itself for the last many weeks. Let’s have a decisive win for Obama and move on to making the case that he’s going to be a better president than McCain, ok? Priorities, people, priorities!

  • Stranger than fiction or fictional strangers:

    But it's really super fun to work on a case in which the prosecutor and defense are sniping at each other to the point where it boils down to one side saying, "Judge, that's not the law." "That is the law." "That's not the law." "That IS the law. I WILL SHOW YOU THE LAW." ⇒

    My client told his story; I walked with him back to the guarded elevator down to the holding cells; went back to the office; got a call on my cell. He blew it out! Case Dismissed! He's home! ⇒
