Question:
is it likely that all the anti-Google amici jumping in
before Google's response brief actually gives Google the tactical advantage of
being able to polish their response to deflect or rebut the arguments made?
I don't think that these are the actual amici briefs, just
notices that these parties plan to file them. I'm not sure of the deadlines
involved, but I think that Google will probably have to file their reply before
the amici briefs are due.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Yes what a gallery of grotesques... especially by the MS-
Monopoly...
Maybe these guys are just not very confident in Oracles
legal representation, it sure looks that way to me :-)
It will be interesting to see what the briefs say, given the
complexity of the case and Judge Alsups efforts to make his
ruling appeals-proof, it must have been very tough for
those entities to come up with something relevant to say in
their briefs. They could easily all end up in the waste
paper bin. Or worse: they could have ended up collectively
shooting themselves in the foot, unless they were very
painstakinly coordinated (...) which in turn raises even
further issues. I hope the court takes a hard look at the
background situation going on here...
I don't know for sure, but I think the Appeals court has
the discretion to not even hear this case if they think it
has no serious merit and that its all bogus anyway.
It looks to me like some folks would like to introduce new
copyright law thru the courts, but normally its up to
congress to create new laws.
maybe time to get some more popcorn out. I am very confident
in Googles Copyright lawyers :-)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

What exactly does Netapp have in this game? I don't even
understand why they threw down on this.
One more thing to make my company aware of, I suppose.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The leaders of club Monster.
Google must have scared them badly if they are all trying to jump in so
frantically.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
