Dear Professor Nesson,
I just want to say how
crazy and smart
your strategy is on the tenenbaum case. I was
moved
by your summary to Fern -
it is so simple, but only if you are not a copyright lawyer.
luckily in the jury ordenary people sit,
dazed and confused and enraged and humiliated and empowered,
with whom you can discuss these issues in a domain copyright lawyers don’t
have access to,
in a language copyright lawyers don’t speak.
I am not suprised by the resistance of Larry, Wendy and the others,
what you’ve asked them was to
deny their whole raison d’être.
you are right to take the discourse out from the legal domain
and put it into the ethical,
this is the only way to move forward.
as for riaa proving the likelihood fo future harm:
let them try,
the evidence on the contrary is growing.
we have just found no correlation between
movie downloads and box office revenues
in Hungary.
this project

will also have some results by early summer.
i hope you can pull this trick off.
Best,
b.-
