Title: Hawaiian Art Network LLC v. Aloha Plastic Surgery update
Post by: Robert Krausankas (BuddhaPi) on April 16, 2012, 06:18:44 PM
Defendants Aloha Plastic Surgery have filed a motion to set aside the default judgment, that was set awhile back. This motion was filed on 3/27/12 and a hearing for this motion is set for 5/14/12. Of interest in this motion is the following:

“Defendant has meritorious defenses against Plaintiffs and intends to assert, among other defenses, the defense of entrapment, enticement, honeypotting, lack of copyright registration or fatally defective copyright registration, fraud, estoppels, illegality, consent, waiver, release, abandonment, acquiescence, recession, abrogation, accord and satisfaction, license, implied license, set-off or off-set, unconscionability, mistake, copyright misuse, unclean hands, that plaintiffs abandoned any copyright inhering in the subject photographs and/or that the subject photographs are in the public domain, fair use and/or de minimus infringement, innocent intent, that such injuries or damages were proximately caused by acts or omissions of Plaintiffs and /or its affiliates or others outside the control of Defendants, and not be the acts or omissions of Defendants, lack of standing, laches, and failure to mitigate.
I will be keeping an eye on this as it proceeds, and hope to have the entire document uploaded to our library..

The Memorandum in Support of Motion to Set Aside Entry of Default has been posted. I would say there is a good chance for the entry of default to be set aside. I haven't seen this before but I am certainly learning by reading this.

Also, a new updated docket has been posted reflecting the latest legal events:

Is there anything we can do to support Aloha in this?

There defense seems similar to what any of us Getty Letter recipients should/could use.

There are some ideas in the works, but first the default judgement has to be reversed.

Glad to see Aloha is stepping up. Just wish they would have done it sooner.

I hope to see more and more companies/people fight for their rights.  Way to go Aloha!

All VKT and James Stephen Street's extortion victims and Aloha Plastic Surgery should follow this case from the Pacer archives.  Michael Pasquale put up a hell of a fight.

I am amazed how a revisit of Pacer reveals that Michael Pasquale single-handedly set aside the default judgement that James Stephen Street attempted to get for Hawaiian Art Network. I never saw it done before prior to this.

Kudos to Michael for teaching us this.
