I am curious to know what you guys think or know about the topic of retroactive licenses. Some copyright trolls use them and some do not. My trolling attorney DeBoer (which I haven't heard from so far by the way) used this in his extortion letter. Getty isn't known to use them.
I've been reading the forums and I haven't seen any commentary on it or maybe I haven't found it. Point me in the right direction!
I found a couple articles where it is considered invalid, but wanted to check here first.
