... and only the most sensational perspective to go by.

As far as the main media is concerned, Google is already paying the damages. Ok, not quite, but with how most of them are presenting what's going on, Google might as well be.

Same, I'd be glad to toss some money to help offset costs of Groklaw's excellent reporters. Seriously Groklaw is outdoing every other news outlet with respect to this case! No other reporters that I have seen have bothered to produce anything resembling a word for word transcript. Instead they just latch onto one or two sensational (sounding) parts and ignore the rest. Kinda missing the forest for the trees. :/

Seriously, if only the quality of reporting were this good with day to day news...

IANAL, but I watch actors play lawyers on high-definition television.
Thanks to our hosts and the legal experts that make Groklaw great.

Likewise - thanks. I so enjoyed your reporting - much more
than I have any of the reports by the so called "professional
reporters".

PJ has taught us well. I have been fortunate to have read the work of the
Groklaw reporters covering SCO v. Novell; they set the standard.

One of the things that PJ taught us is that we are looking for is data, not
spin. So that's what I do my best to bring. She also said that our
impressions are incredibly valuable: demeanor, tone of voice, posture, are
never conveyed in the court reporter's transcript. She also tells us not to try

to record everything, just try to get what appears to be important. It's all
super instruction.

To the idea that Google trying to game the system and get Oracle to
needlessly burn their minutes, I caught not one whiff of that from Google's
team, and the Judge has made it incedibly clear that he is aware of the the
tactic, is sensitive to it (he *did* ask Google about that directly), and that
the knife cuts both ways. He has made that clear, as well as making clear
that exhibits come into evidence through stipulation (agreement of the
parties), or if there is no agreement,, through establishing a foundation via
a witness who has direct knowledge of the evidence.

I too thank them.

I've tried it and it's really hard. I don't know how they manage to get such a
coherent report.
