Steve K. Wilson Briggs v. Sony Pictures Entertainment, Inc., et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 14-17175 · judgment March 1, 2018
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
Whether by failing to clarify and update internet widespread dissemination access guidelines, U.S. courts imperil the rights of U.S. intellectual property owners. Whether a decision based on the falsified report of a man who later confessed on FOX News that he was a "fixer" for President Clinton, can stand and set U.S. copyright precedent. Whether a ruling that ignores superseding law, to base itself in subordinate law, can be valid. Whether a plaintiff has the right to state his own copyright claims, or if the court has authority to omit and substantially alter a plaintiff's claims?
