Sauron the White has just left Hobbiton.
Three questions for our legal minded Downers...

1.- if this suit was filed in California why would New York law apply?

2. - Would the previous filings of Wingnut Films and Peter Jackson be available to the Estate and would Peter Jackson be a good possible witness to assist them?

3- This was posted on another site - halloffire.net - by an attorney. Is there any truth to this and could you explain what you think it means?

Quote:
If the Estate REALLY wanted to play hardball, they could move in 2012 (1937 + 75 years) for copyright reclamation, voiding every single license or copyright assignment in TH JRRT ever made in his lifetime. The same could apply to the LR in 2010-11 (1954-55 + 56 years).
Thank you for the pro bono work.
