The White House vetoed a recommended ban on future imports of older Apple products found to be infringing on Samsung's standard essential patents (SEC).

The way I am reading this they have also ruled that Apple does not even have to cease and desist using Samsung's SEC. This shows one of the major differences between the copyright and patent infringement cases, the patent infringement cases generally will hurt business and the economy so the government is more willing to step in and make decisions even if they leave me scratching my head.

After extensive consultations with the agencies of the Trade Policy Staff Committee and the Trade Policy Review Group, as well as other interested agencies and persons, I have decided to disapprove the USITC’s determination to issue an exclusion order and cease and desist order in this investigation,”

This is from Robert over on Copyright Trolls site.

Looks like Vincent K Tylor has been rather busy as of late..worth noting in the below lawsuits, is that Glen Carner owner of Hawaiian Art network does not seem to be involved with these, and also it looks like photographer VK Tylor is showing his young son the ropes and how to become a prolific copyright troll..To bad the kid is going to get a very bad reputation very quickly thanks to his asshole father..

Here is a good from over at TechDirt.

it's almost certain that John Steele himself uploaded the various videos to BitTorrent that were then used to sue various defendants for either "hacking" or copyright infringement. Oh, and in doing so, Steele appears to have made some choices that are pretty damning, including suggesting that he set up the file to effectively broadcast that it was free for the taking. In other words, there's an incredibly strong argument that the release of the file on BitTorrent was very authorized.

I just found this article over on www.fightcopyrighttrolls.com.  Looks like Judge Wright got some of the Prenda boys in court where they immediately plead the 5th and the Judge was furious and ended the hearing after 12 minutes.

Here's an article from over at the Tech Dirt site.  Prenda is trying everything they can to derail this hearing Monday.  You can read the full article here:

I have been following the Prenda Law cases for about a year now and can tell you that there are more twists, turns and unbelievable stuff than my wife’s soap operas. This hearing on the 11th where Judge Wright has ordered everyone associated one the Prenda side to report for a sanctions hearing.

This could be the beginning of the end of Prenda Law and their P2P trolling activities.  Here is the latest I found over at Ars Technica.

Quote
Officially, a Prenda-linked shell company called "AF Holdings" is suing Pietz's client for infringing copyright by downloading a pornographic film from BitTorrent. But in recent weeks, the focus of the litigation has shifted to alleged misconduct by Prenda, including whether the firm stole the identity of Minnesota resident Alan Cooper to use as an officer of AF Holdings. Judge Wright has scheduled a Monday hearing to get to the bottom of the allegations.

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/03/leading-porn-trolls-mastermind-is-the-worlds-most-evasive-witness/

This should be the theme song for the Prenda Team on the 11th.

In a last ditch effort to try and keep the fast sinking Prenda Law afloat they have issued a subpoena to Wordpress to get IP address and info on who accessed and posted on DieTrollDie and FightCopyrightTrolls website. This is going to get very interesting.  I know many of us here at ELI support both DTD and FCT and the work they do reporting on the trolls and their activities.

As I stated, this is a sad attempt to prevent the China Syndrome that Prenda Law Inc., has brought on themselves.  Please take a read of the transcript for the 19 Feb 13, deposition of Paul Hansmeier, Prenda Law, Inc.   Even if you can only read a small portion of it, you will see how evasive Paul Hansmeier is to any simple straight forward questions concerning AF Holdings LLC.   PHanmeier_Redac_Trans_08333(CA)   Unbelievable!

Here is the transcript mentioned above.

Looks like the noose is tightening around Prenda Law LLC’s neck Judge Wright wants all the Prenda Trolls in court March 11th for a sanction hearing.  I would love to be a fly on the wall for this one.  I have posted about Judge Wright before and he seems quite fed up with the Prenda trolls.  Various forms of this story may be found on DieTrollDie, FightCopyrightTrolls and Ars technical.  Links to the articles may be found below.

Here is an article from the NY Law Journal, one of the oldest and most prestigious legal newspapers in the country. This article is a bit off topic from my normal posts but is well worth reading and features our own Oscar Michelen!  Oscar has been working pro bono for the last nine years trying to free David McCallum who Oscar believes has been wrongfully charged and imprisoned for a murder he did not commit.  McCallum’s case was brought to Oscar’s attention by none other than Ruben “Hurricane” Carter who was himself wrongfully convicted of a crime he did not commit and has had books, songs and movies written about his life.

Quote
"Procedurally, we are stuck," said Oscar Michelen, of counsel to Cuomo LLC who has been working pro bono on McCallum's case for nine years and says he is "100 percent sure" McCallum had nothing to do with the 1985 murder of 20-year-old Nathan Blenner. "We need new evidence. We need to find something that either establishes who did it or definitively establishes that David did not do it."

A bit off topic but I thought this was a very interesting article and wanted to share it with those who were interested.

Quote
In its adolescent years, the U.S. was a hotbed of intellectual piracy and technology smuggling, particularly in the textile industry, acquiring both machines and skilled machinists in violation of British export and emigration laws. Only after it had become a mature industrial power did the country vigorously campaign for intellectual-property protection.

ELI is not the only anti-troll site out there fighting for their first amendment rights.  FightCopyrightTrolls and DieTrollDie are facing a defamation lawsuits to try to silence them for posting about Prenda Law.
