Ah, you're right. The initial filing by Visio was a notice of removal. There is no argument or decision by the court on the notice. SFC responds by filing a motion to remand, which is what this decision relates to.

This decision does not establish that the GPL is a contract. This decision of the federal court only says that SFC made contract claims that are not preempted by the Copyright Act, and therefore the case belongs in state court where SFC had

You’re right. I should be more careful about using “only if”. Practically, however, access to the original will probably defeat the independent creation defense.

by bdowling 5y ago
Independent creation is a defense to copyright infringement, but only if the accused did not have access to the original work. In the BIOS cases, this means that the implémenter can produce the exact same assembly code as the original BIOS

Exactly. If pulling the episodes is a breach of Rogan's contract with Spotify, then Spotify could be liable. Of course, none of us know what's in that contract.
