Heck, I've worked for more than 12 years as a hired expert (not an expert WITNESS - I have no desire to sit in the witness chair) in litigation support - medical electronics and software issues mostly. You and I both know that I'm not dispensing legal advice. So, I see from WestLaw that you're an associate with White and Williams LLP working with insurance litigation. Any intellectual property law experience? Ever been involved with an infringement suit? (And why are you an associate after 12 years and not a junior partner?) If not then it would be like me, a nuclear engineer, attempting to pontificate on civil engineering matters. I know something about engineering but I for sure don't know anything about, say, soil conditions in the area. Since you're a lawyer and presumably have access to Westlaw, why don't you research it and put some numbers to the supposition that someone inadvertently infringing a copyright with a non-commercial project has had to do anything other than stop infringing. I bet the number, if any, is in the single digits. OK, enough. I'm finished with this thread. It has degenerated into non-productive sniping. I think the various positions are known, if not, hopefully, engraved in stone. Perhaps after this flareup dies down this policy will be quietly reconsidered for the benefit of everyone.
