MON-KEY SELF-IE

Oh there we go. Smith now discussing Cetacean
-
9th Circuit precedent that has the most amazing shade in the factual background section: http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-9th-circuit/1459189.html …pic.twitter.com/HDHOKWoVOh

HOLY SHIT
-
Bea just
-
Bea just asked if the entire Copyright Act has to be interpreted for this case... and then asks about copyright descending to children
-
"Are there legitimate and illegitimate children in the world of Na-ru-to?"
-
"Are Na-ru-to’s offspring children as defined in the statute?"
-
I'm crying
-
THEN. THEN. PETA's attorney says that marriage in the Copyright Act is originally intended to refer to marriage between man and a woman
-
But of course marriage is different now omfg
-
Bea: Is there a similar holding by the Supreme Court that man and monkey are the same?
-
PETA: ... No.
-
I'm crying
-
Smith: I don’t think Congress ever had the intent to grant an animal rights under the Act
-
Bea: Do we look to the administrative guidance of the Compendium at all? Is it entitled to Chevron deference?
-
PETA says no. Bea asks if Skidmore deference—PETA says it must be treated as superficial guidance
-
Here comes Andrew Dhuey, legendary lawyer for the photographer David Slater
-
Dhuey: With regards to Cetacean, monkey see, monkey sue will not do in federal court.
-
Dhuey: Lexmark... I don't really understand how that affects this analysis?
-
Dhuey: I don't even see what the Ray Charles decision has to do with anything.
-
Dhuey: I'm sorry, your honor, I don't know why that came to the court 24 hours ago.
-
Dhuey now moving to fees issue, asking for attorney's fees.
-
Dhuey: What I'm hearing is an argument to overturn Cetacean. That's an en banc petition. This is a waste of judicial resources.
-
Bea: How would you like us to rule? [beat] I know you want us to affirm. But on what basis?
-
truly a shocking turn in a case about a monkey taking a selfie
-
Bea: A new suit may be brought by Naruto through a plaintiff properly pleaded. Dhuey: I guess that's my next case then.
-
Dhuey: I hope at this point PETA stops and leaves my client alone.
-
Now Angela Dunning from Cooley for Blurb, co-defendant.
-
Dunning points out that the language of the statute doesn't seem to encompass monkeys. For example, there's a requirement for written notice
-
Dunning: What's Naruto going to do with written notice?
