RE: Re: Ms. Murray's Reputation

I'm out of this discussion - I have better things to do than try to argue with people who are determined to see conspiracy everywhere and to speculate freely without any knowledge of the facts. But feel free to keep going yourself.

That is weak, Ms. Friedman.

No one here is demanding that Kay Murray take a vow of chastity and poverty. But in the mother of all copyright class actions on behalf of authors, she jumped from the plaintiff side to the defendant side before the ink on the settlement agreement was even dry. Indeed, it is reasonable to speculate that her new employment deal was in place months ago, with an original expectation that she would skirt controversy because there would be no objections and the case would be wrapped up on July 28.

Nice try at defending the indefensible.
