With Copyright Troll Liebowitz Sidelined His Partner Freeman Cites Working Class Photogs

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Dec 4 – The Liebowitz Law Firm, sometimes called copyright trolls, appeared on December 4 in their lawsuit against Insider, Inc. Inner City Press covered it. 

 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Louis L. Stanton held the proceeding, and took his time.

Insider, Inc.'s lawyer, Oren J. Warshavsky of Baker & Hostetler, said his client pays him $1,500 an hour.  His point was they don't mind fighting - they just don't want to pay legal fees to LLF which keeps suing them.  

LLF's James H. Freeman said despite Liebowitz's actions in a few case - he is now subject to an interim suspension order by the SDNY Grievance Committee, M-2-238, cited by SDNY Judge Jesse M. Furman in his November 30 order in Usherson v. Bandshell Artist Management, 19-cv-6368 - doesn't change that he is fighting for "working class photographers." 

  The Baker & Hostetler lawyer sneered, "Let's not pretend you're in this for the public interest."

 Judge Stanton, noting that he practices law for 30 years and so understood fees, set a next conference for January 15, on issues including when the registration in this case was filed.

 The case is Chin v. Insider, Inc., 20-cv-4707 (Stanton)
