It looks like the excerpts from the deposition that appeared in some emails
have been edited out of the posts that appear on the MoPo site www.filmfan.com
I'm sure that this was a wise thing to do.

You hit it right on the nose with your last sentence. I will explain it to
you in simple steps.
What Sue posted is not allowed to be posted but she did it anyhow. Because
she charges for certain portions of her site she told those members NOT to
post it on the internet. She believed what she did was correct at the time she
made the posting available.
Her posting appeared and it was posted on mopo by Todd. She immediately
accused Todd of hacking into her site.
Holiday (an attorney) pointed out to her that this information is not to be
posted period. Just because she tells someone not to post it is irrelevant.
In the meantime, it turned out that one of her subscribers had forwarded the
info to Todd and Todd believing it good info for mopo members posted it on mopo.
When Sue accused him on mopo of hacking into her site Todd told her why she
was wrong.
Sue then told mopo members that she should not have posted it on her site,
and took down all information from her site that is not legal to post. She
admitted she was wrong in posting it in the first place.
Since she was wrong, admitted it and since Todd did not hack into her site,
why shouldn't she apologize to him?
Now that you understand, and I am giving you advance credit for understanding
without knowing if you do, you will see why attorneys make the big bucks. I'll
sign off now as I need to fill out deposit slips before the bank opens Monday
and it is already Sunday afternoon. I don't know if I can fill them all out in
time for the 9 am opening.,

Let me see Sue (and Ed) purchased transcripts after agreeing to post them
on their MEMBERS ONLY site and NOT on a public site. Someone steals them and
posts them to a public site and you say Sue and Ed should apologize ? I guess
that’s why attorneys make the big bucks cause I for sure do not understand that
logic.

Since you admitted it was your fault don't you think you owe Todd an
apology for your false accusation. You jumped down his throat immediately when
you should not have posted it in the first place. You accused him of hacking
into your site which was blatantly false and without evidence of him doing
anything wrong.

Holiday,
Because this lawsuit has such a negative impact on our hobby, we were
trying
to keep our members apprised of what was going on. But you are absolutely
right -- I should have never posted it. We thought that our members (who
are the only ones with access) read and understood the guidelines that
state
plainly and clearly that this information is not to be copied or
distributed
in any fashion. When a member signs in, we have a warning at the top of
the
page which states: "All material in this section is copyrighted and
cannot
be used or distributed in any form without the permission of LAMP."
Unfortunately, one of our members apparently can't read or understand or
simply did not care that they put us in a rather precarious situation.
THIS
WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. As of tonight, all legal documents have been
removed
from LAMP and we will no longer be providing any legal updates. Let
someone
else do it.
I worked in a law firm in New Orleans for 20 years and still have access
to
legal services but as I stated I am obligated to use them in a certain
fashion. I have tried to meet that obligation but obviously I didn't do
as
good as I thought.
Again, thank you.
Susan

Subject: [MOPO] Deposition transcripts
I'm not speaking to the issue about how the transcript was picked up off
of
LAMP, I have no information about that. I'm only referring to the
statement
that a deposition transcript is a public record subject to FOIA.
Typically,
this is not true.
Most deposition transcripts are not part of the public record. Typically,
they are only made a part of the record if there is a particular purpose
for
filing them with the court. Typically, the are used ultimately for
impeachment purposes at trial if a witness contradicts his earlier
testimony.
Moreover, when filing transcripts if the need arises, there are redaction
rules that govern the attorneys who are filing the transcript.
Additionally, most attorneys are sensitive to filing a witness's financial
information in a public proceeding and will thus ask that the court either
seal the transcript or enter a confidentiality order which prevents access
absent limited circumstances.
I would say that whoever it was that released the transcript to begin with
was amiss and somewhat cavalier in doing so. I respect Sue's attempt to
keep it confidential within the confines of LAMP, but frankly, it should
not
even have gotten that far.
Of course, I'm sure there are facts out there which may have warranted
deviation from the typical scenarios, and I hope that someone along the
lines of this discussion helps clarify the circumstances under which the
transcript was released so that we can all consider it in its appropriate
context.
