Since jumping the fence back to the subscription website side of the biz again, I'm not as hooked in to the goings-on of the trial as I would have been if I were covering this for one of the industry publications/news sites.
From
Mark Kernes' latest article about day 2 of the trial, it sure sounds like the Internet has come in as an issue, though:
"The prosecution's first witness was James Fottrell, a computer forensics specialist who testified that he had done a "traceroute" search on the Website maxhardcore.com, and had also downloaded the contents of that site - including roughly 950 .wmv video files, some of which were promotional trailers designated "Euro Version" - to a hard drive. He further testified that at least five of those video files were "available to the public," including the "Euro" trailers for Max Extreme 20, Pure Max 19, Golden Guzzlers 7, Fists of Fury 4, and Planet Max 16 - which the prosecution then proceeded to play for the jury ... and the approximately 15 legal interns from around the courthouse who had gathered in the audience for the presentation."
Mark's article, as usual for Mr. Kernes, is highly detailed and chock full of info. Kudos Mark!
