What was the 10th Circuit thinking. Russ was always going to fuck up.
I don't think anyone knows what the 10th circuit court was thinking.
Even reading the ruling several times I'm still confused by their leaps of logic to conflate someone posting a link to another site as contributory copyright infringement on the site owners behalf. I'd like to think that the court knew all about the Farms and just wanted to hurt Jersh but that's pretty unlikely. And the briefings by the scam lawyers are pretty paper
thin on facts and case law but I guess it was enough for the court to rule in Greer's favour. The original judge was right in that Greer had nothing to bring before the court besides hearsay and conjectural evidence. The best bit is, if Russell loses he may wish that he had never appealed in the first place.
The truth is that the appeals court merely stated that Russ'tard has appearance of a case of contributory copyright infringement if all the facts were taken as true, which we now know is wrong. That Melonhead was in fact lying to the court about pretty much everything in his brief.
He has no facts, he has no witnesses, he has no paper trail of evidence that Jersh did indeed urge people to steal Greer's book like he claimed. He has nothing, zip, nadda except his "plights" which have absolutely nothing to do with the case despite Greer's best attempts to claim so.
In fact all he has are some copies of mean posts "abusing" him and "harassing" emails that could've be by sent anyone, including Greer. He's got nothing to bring before the court as proof that Josh was personally responsible for the act of contributing to copyright infringement.
While I still think this magistrate is in Geer's corner due to all his previous aid to Mushmouth, I am no longer as sure that Greer is going to walk away the winner now. In fact I eagerly await the courts reply to Hardin's costs and Greer's rebuttal to see where the magistrate takes it.
