Chet W. Serious BS: HFA/NMPA Round 2 part II (76* d) RE: Serious BS: HFA/NMPA Round 2 part II 13 Nov 99


Publisher, Cite Statutes, Cite court decisions. A court decision was controversial? That's why we have courts, to make the difficult decisions instead of bowing to popular sentiment. Do you have a US Supreme Court ruling or a subsequent statute that overrides the Campbell case? If not, I'd say it stands. I'm not an attorney. I'm a teacher. We are required to know a lot about copyright, and, having a special interest as a musician (informed), I have studied it more than I had to. Let's see those citations.

Why won't you identify yourself? Would your employer disapprove? If you really want to help in a case where a severe injustice is already in motion, then do the right thing and say something we can use. Nameless witnesses, expert or otherwise, are not of much use. On second thought, there's no need to tell us. Tell Max.
