The team’s legal argument has never lacked for novelty. When he initially took the Tenenbaum case, Nesson made it clear that he would launch a constitutional attack on the so-called “Digital Theft Deterrence Act,” which mandates damages of up to $150,000 for willful copyright infractions. Such a scale for damages was disproportionate to any harm committed, the team suggested, putting...
