...from backing down, Nesson was already incubating a new assault on convention. The First Circuit decision against Web-casting came on April 16. Just a couple of weeks earlier, the professor had made waves in the legal community when he posted an e-mail chain to his blog suggesting an idea for a new, radical defense. Perhaps individuals like Tenenbaum, downloading music for free on-line several years ago when there weren’t any suitable for-pay options such as iTunes, weren’t committing a copyright infraction. Perhaps, Nesson now surmised, such activity wasn?...
When I visited the Tenenbaum team in late April, the notion wasn’t going over well. In private e-mails later posted to Nesson’s blog, some of the nation’s top copyleft academics—the very people who Nesson had intended to recruit as expert witnesses for his side—had decried the idea.
