Oral arguments were held today on the search-engine defendants' motions to
dismiss Parker. v. Yahoo et al. The hearing lasted about 80 mnutes, and was
very contentious.

The judge said she was not convinced that this is the same as the Google
case, that the Google case is not precedential, and was not convinced that
search engines act without "volition." She also explored the issue of the
search engines profiting from the copying making them not subject to DMCA
protection.

She repeatedly asked defense counsel to explain why they are entitled to
DMCA protection, and how the way they work qualifies them for a safe harbor.

I argued that their profits from the infringement disqualify them from DMCA
protection, that the DMCA was designed to protect MY webhost and my users'
ISPs from liability, not the search engines, and that the DMCA protects
SYSTEM caches, not what they call a "cache."

This one isn't so knee-jerk.

Today was the defining (so far) court hearing on the issues of search
engines and copyright infringement. The judge did an incredible amount of
homework for this hearing, and it showed. Almost an hour and a half of
nonstop arguments of two very clear positions, and one very clear choice for
the judge, who made it clear she has still not yet made up her mind, who
ignored all "nonprecedential" past rulings, and has taken the bull by the
horns to hopefully resolve this issue once and for all, not just for me, but
for all websites.

Richard, that would equal none due.

He doesn't care that they search his site, he just wanted to sue
Microsoft and Yahoo.

It's the way he compensates for having an empty scrotum.

Raytard's an self proclaimed Internet guru that uses his site for
marketing. He'd have to be the dumbest mutha fucka on earth to not
want Yahoo and Microsoft (and Google) to index his site. I wish there
was someplace I could get odds on that proposition; is Gordon Roy
Parker the dumbest mutha fucka on earth?

That is "opt-out" copyright protection. I told the judge that under the
current law, I am not required to opt out of anything, and that by
registering my work I was opting out.

I'm not out to deny anyone access to my site, just to ensure that no one
republishes my registered, copyrighted works.

With "opt-out" protection, I have to constantly monitor infringement, since
the burden is on me to remove it rather than them not to engage in it. This
has never held up in any court before.

Radios have to pay royalties to ASCAP when they play music. They have the
right to play the song, as long as they pay the "compulsory license" which
is set by law.
