    “In reality, Defendants are nothing more than mass infringers.”

    Nothing more? Really? I mean it sounds like they are on shaky ground with this project, but that statement seems awfully reductive. It’s okay; they are allowed to be important and good and also be wrong (if they are, I’m not a lawyer).

      Given the age of the music they cite this whole thing reminds me how ridiculously long copyright terms are.

        Imo modern copyright and trademarks will be our downfall. Can’t get shit done because big companies can just lock shit behind a closet for almost over a lifetime.
