January 18, 2008: Our Response to Katzer's Contract, Copyright and DMCA Arguments

On January 18, 2008, we filed our response to Katzer's most recent motion to dismiss. That motion attempted to get rid of various parts of our recent Second Amended Complaint regarding copyright, contract and DMCA violations. In our response, we show that Katzer misstated both law and facts, and show that the Court should allow us to hold Katzer responsible for his actions in stripping the copyright management information out of the JMRI files, for repeatedly infringing JMRI copyrights, and, if Katzer's argument that he had a contract is valid, for violation of that contract.

The next step will be Katzer's reply, due on Friday January 25th, which we will post on the docket page when it arrives, followed by a hearing on March 14th.
