The U.S. book and music industries, as expected, on Monday asked the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco for permission to participate in one of the Righthaven copyright lawsuit appeals.
In a request to file an "amici curiae" or friend of the court brief, their attorneys said the permission of the court was needed because attorneys for the defendant in the appeal, Wayne Hoehn, had refused to agree to their participation.
Las Vegas-based Righthaven, however, consented to the participation of the Association of American Publishers and the Recording Industry Association of America.
