I try to make the analysis more about the facts and the situation rather than about parties' identities. I don't want to make it sound like I have any kind of agenda toward a particular type of entity. I hear what you're saying though.

With that adjective it sounds as though you didn't think much respect was due to begin with!

In any event, the summary is very clear that this was a motion to dismiss, not a trial judgment. So your critique is likely to mislead.

And yes, the court left open the option for plaintiff to replead. But I would suggest that does not do much to mitigate the extent to which the court's reasoning here as to how the agreement could limit a claim of copyright is questionable.

But thanks for your comments. I just did not feel that your word choice reflected well on our profession. Let's try to be friends anyway!

Yeah, sorry about that! My modest little blog is not used to the kind of traffic it's seeing today. Hope you were patient and hit reload.
