Plaintiff's counsel. I was referring back to the headline, which seems to suggest that the issue of counterfeiting is raised by the complaint.

To be fair, counterfeiting is not alleged in the complaint.

Needs? Why are we incorporating parody concepts--arrived at in order to give breathing space to free expression--for run of the mill knock-off products?

The company behind the FUBU brand was GTFM LLC, which stood for “Get The Fucking Money,” which was always a fun moment during depositions.

Having successfully defended Greensleeves Records in a copyright infringement action brought by the Scientist over tracks mixed at King Tubby's that were licensed by Greensleeves for use in Grand Theft Auto 3, this is very much in my area of interest.

Despite personal attacks and a board that has become increasingly reactionary, I am running to ensure that all students feel welcomed in our schools, to safeguard students' ability to read books and learn history that will challenge them, and to protect public education . . .

While much of what a school board does is administrative, I am proud of what we have accomplished including, most importantly, standing up for the students and families in our neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and immigrant communities.

I believe that part of being an attorney is being active in your local community as a leader, a mentor, or a volunteer. For the past three years, I have served on my local school board and am running for re-election again this year. 🧵

The Girl Who Drank The Moon was one of my favorite books that I read to my daughter. We read together every night for longer than she’d probably care to admit. She’s her class salutatorian this year and will be attending Princeton this fall. Reading matters.
