'Jane Doe' Lawyer Glenn Peterson Talks With GrepLaw

Posted by timothy on from the sue-you-sue-anybody dept.

scubacuda writes "Glenn Peterson, attorney at McDonough Holland & Allen, represents 'Jane Doe,' one of the first to fight the constitutionality of recent RIAA subpoenas. In this GrepLaw interview, Glenn gives his thoughts on recent RIAA strong arm tactics, Matt Openheim's assertion that Jane Doe's arguments have 'already been addressed by a federal judge,' and the danger of giving subpoena power to anyone pretending to have a copyright claim."

    Among other things, I think you've got your racial stereotype wrong.

    "Ooooh me no rike ropyrights so I'll ropy this software berause I'm a stealing chink!"

    If I'm correct, the stereotype is that the Chinese pronounce "r" as "l," as in the old joke about "Flied Lice." To help you out, I think what you meant to say was:

    "Ooooh, me no like copylights so I'll copy this softwale because I'm a stealing chink!"

    But your point was made superbly. :)
