Great! Here's why I ask....

There is a case going on, involving fair use. I won it.

https://randazza.com/lawsuits/lyndon-perry/

I had an organization that was going to file an amicus brief, in support of
the motion for fees. I think the reason this is important is not just
personal (although, I would be dishonest if I didn't say I was personally
motivated). The public interest motivation I have though is the fact that
it is *awful *that New York federal courts are so wishy-washy on granting
fees to winning defendants, especially in fair use cases.

The organization that was going to file the brief discovered at the 11th
hour and 59th minute that it had a conflict.

So ... I have a brief that another lawyer drafted. I took no part in
drafting it. You don't need to pay a dime for it. We just are looking for
someone to be willing to say "as an outsider to this situation, we think
fair use deserves protection"

Would you be interested? If so, I will put you in touch with a lawyer
willing to do it pro bono. Or, if you have one that would like to do it, i
can just give you the brief, and your lawyer can "make it his/her own" and
file it.

The clock is ticking, so a quick response is begged for.

Great! Here's why I ask....

There is a case going on, involving fair use. I won it.

https://randazza.com/lawsuits/lyndon-perry/

I had an organization that was going to file an amicus brief, in support of
the motion for fees. I think the reason this is important is not just
personal (although, I would be dishonest if I didn't say I was personally
motivated). The public interest motivation I have though is the fact that
it is *awful *that New York federal courts are so wishy-washy on granting
fees to winning defendants, especially in fair use cases.

The organization that was going to file the brief discovered at the 11th
hour and 59th minute that it had a conflict.

So ... I have a brief that another lawyer drafted. I took no part in
drafting it. You don't need to pay a dime for it. We just are looking for
someone to be willing to say "as an outsider to this situation, we think
fair use deserves protection"

Would you be interested? If so, I will put you in touch with a lawyer
willing to do it pro bono. Or, if you have one that would like to do it, i
can just give you the brief, and your lawyer can "make it his/her own" and
file it.

The clock is ticking, so a quick response is begged for.
