RE: copyright questions to listservs

JMO is Judgment as a Matter of Law. Many courts are now using this term instead of "Summary Judgment." It means a situation in which the parties do not substantially disagree about the relevant facts, and thus one or both of them ask the court to judge the dispute simply by applying the law to the facts as agreed upon. The court will issue a JMO resolving the matter based solely on the legal issue(s), with no findings of fact necessary.

1. It would help to reprint the question here - I'm interested in this question but need the question to understand it.
2. What's "JMO"? I keep seeing acronyms on this listserv I don't know - can writers please spell out what they're saying?
