Question presented
We hold that the Ninth Circuit Court reinvented Copyright Law obscure of Copyright Law, and reshaped Copyright Law and took away Petitioner copyright challenge protocols in the Copyright 1909 Act to decide a question of Copyright Law based on an entirely separate federal issue of importance to public interest. Therefore leaving the federal question, does the Petitioner has a legal right to challenge against infringement in the Copyright 1976 statutory law, when the Court lack statutory standing to void a copyright challenge? The actions of the Ninth Circuit has created unbalance in Supreme Court decisions such as Star Athietica, L.L.C. v. Varsity Brands, Inc., 580 U.S. (2017), and circuit splits on Copyright Law. The Copyright issues of infringement are grounded in this Supreme Court decision and the very Federal Tort Claim "equitable tolling" grounded in Supreme Court decision Wong v. United States, 575 U.S. (2015). "Fraud is upon the Court" and "willful blindness" has caused harm to a lawful copyright holder that challenges infringement when overt acts of "fraud upon the court" through the Telecommunication Act contributed to the theft and infringements in the defiance of Supreme Court authority, and Seventh Amendment protections for a Copyright owner (Right to jury trial.); "Is there a private cause of action regarding the Telecommunication Act?"
