to co sa v usa poklada za druhy pripad usvedceneho file-sharera vyhrala v prvom kole RIAA za $22.500 za kazdu z 30 skladieb (zatial som nikde nenarazil na to akych).

Tenenbaumov pravnik Nesson hral na fair-use strunu, s cim vacsina 'copyleft expertov' ktorych oslovil pre vystupenie na sude, nesuhlasila, napr Lessig:
"I am surprised if the intent is to fight this case as if what joel did was not against the law. of course it was against the law, and you do the law too much kindness by trying to pretend (or stretch) “fair use” excuses what he did. It doesn’t. But if you want to argue it does, then I should think it a big mistake to include Terry on the team, or me for that matter. I have given literally hundreds of speeches where I expressly say p2p filesharing is wrong, and kids shouldn’t do it. I think FREE CULTURE says that more than a dozen times. "

Nesson berie cely pripad ako "open project" so svojimi studentami a na svoj blog postol email debatu:
