As communicated by Korey, class we had to move a few things around next week. James Martin will lecture on Wednesday 4/1 (regular class time) and John Jeffrey will give a make-up lecture, possibly at my office, later in the month. There will not be a Monday/Tuesday class next week.
James will be giving a lecture entitled "Case Study on CastTV." Note that the subject is not patent litigation as it has been in years past. This class will function to tie much of what we have studied thus far together.
Below is the reading assignment. Each work was carefully selected. Please do your best to get through it before next week as your ability to grasp these issues and engage in class is directly tied to your familiarity with the caselaw and related materials assigned.
1. Surf the CastTV site (http://www.casttv.com/), including the FAQs (http://www.casttv.com/faq)
2. Review the following two cases:
MGM v. Grokster, 545 U.S. 913, 125 S.Ct. 2764 (2005) http://w2.eff.org/IP/P2P/MGM_v_Grokster/04-480.pdf
Perfect 10, Inc. v. Amazon.com, Inc., 508 F.3d 1146 (9th Cir. 2007) http://w2.eff.org/legal/cases/Perfect10_v_Google/p10vgoogle.pdf
3. Review CRS Report for Congress re: Cartoon Network v. CSC Holdings, Inc., 536 F.3d 121 (2d Cir. 2008) http://wikileaks.org/leak/crs/RL34719.pdf
