I agree that what West is doing is wrong. Implied license is nonsense, especially if one does not know their briefs have been placed online. That people are willing to give up other peoples' rights so quickly is puzzling.
That a brief is filed in a public court makes it no more a public record than a book in a public library.
A probably more true point this company is so large that those who would try opposing it would find themselves in the same shape as Hussein's army. Lawyers at West making money off of other lawyers work is sick, but also American business at its best - get away with something wrong until someone makes you stop. Just ask former Enron Chair Ken Lay about it. Nobody ever stopped him until it was too late. Once again, lawyers are being ripped off and the cheerleaders are on the side of the bad guy. What a world.
