New Jersey district judge HOCHBERG shall be impeached for producing nonsense such as "Thus, ..." below. "The heart of the argument on appeal concerns whether the terms of the Artistic License are conditions of, or merely covenants to, the copyright license. Generally, a "copyright owner who grants a nonexclusive license to use his copyrighted material waives his right to sue the licensee for copyright infringement and can sue only for breach of contract. Sun Microsystems, Inc., v. Microsoft Corp., 188 F.3d 1115, 1121 (9th Cir. 1999); Graham v. James, 144 F.3d 229, 236 (2d Cir. 1998). If, however, a license is limited in scope and the licensee acts outside the scope, the licensor can bring an action for copyright infringement. See S.O.S., Inc. v. Payday, Inc., 886 F.2d 1081, 1087 (9th Cir.1989); Nimmer on Copyright, ' 1015[A] (1999). Thus, if the terms of the Artistic License allegedly violated are both covenants and conditions, they may serve to limit the scope of the license and are governed by copyright law." She is deliberately mixing three different contract law concepts of conditions, covenants, and scope limitations which have nothing to do with being governed by copyright law. (She probably copy & pasted it from moronic Jacobsen's brief). http://www.therobingroom.com/Judge.aspx?ID=661 "Worst judge I have yet encountered. Decides the case beforehand and her opinions are excerpts from her predetermined winner's briefs. Ignores the facts and pleadings. When you lose, you want to at least feel the judge listened and considered what you had to say -- not so with this judge. She blows you off and makes it clear she's blowing you off." regards, alexander. P.S.
