RE: Re: Briefs for Sale

A previous poster on this list wrote: "The market value of a brief is pretty low -- almost nothing except in the particular case. So the incentive to stop infringement is pretty low."

Apparently, one well-known class-action law firm disagrees. See "Milberg Weiss Tries to Nail Class Action Imitators," http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1036630458145 -- in which a lawyer is quoted as saying: "The other plaintiffs' firms, who don't have the same experience, support or expertise that Milberg does, are taking the complaints that have been written, investigated and drafted by the Milberg attorneys. They're copying those complaints and filing them in the same case."

Under this argument, the complaints have value to other lawyers (and the clients of those lawyers).

Does anyone know what became of these copyright infringement allegations?
