Judge Noonan, one of the Ninth Circuit judges who listened to the
Morpheus case in which the legality of building a tool without the
entertainment industry's permission -- and hence the future of the
Internet -- is being decided directed this blast at Ramos, the attorney
arguing the entertainment industry's side:
"Let me say what I think your problem is. You can use these
harsh terms ["piracy," "theft"], but you are dealing with something
new, and the question is, does the statutory monopoly that Congress has
given you reach out to that something new. And that's a very debatable
question. You don't *solve* it by calling it 'theft.' You have to show
why this court should extend a statutory monopoly to cover the new
thing. *That's* your problem. Address *that* if you would. And curtail
the use of abusive language."
EFF is now hosting the entire argument in the case as an MP3, which is
in the public domain. My cow-orker Donna Wentworth sums up some other
good linkage in her blog post:
