Shloss hearing

I attended the motion to dismiss hearing in the Shloss v. Estate of Joyce case on Wednesday morning. Here a photo of Professor Shloss and two people from the legal team, David Olson (CIS Fellow) and Tony Falzone (Exec. Dir. of the Fair Use Project). (A couple more photos are available in my flickr set.)

From the hearing, I felt Judge Ware was fairly predisposed to rule in Professor Shloss's favor and allow the case to proceed beyond pleadings. I was really impressed with how prepared he was and how he clearly understood the background and factual questions that were being raised by the defendant's motion to dismiss the complaint. Although he didn't rule on the motion at the time of the hearing, he did give a strong indication that he'd be issuing a scheduling order (so, I gather he's not dismissing the case!).
