DP but as a frequent Reddit user, I know that the algorithm will automatically suggest this stuff to you if you even just follow the neutral subs on the topic, I only follow r/ItEndsWithLawsuits and r/ItEndsWithCourts, but I regularly get content in my feed from both the pro-BL and pro-JB subs. So PP could have seen that without "trawling" the sub. I saw it and I don't think I've ever actually visited that sub except to click on a link to a post that popped up in my feed. |
So some new stuff is starting to get posted in the docket. This MTC is juicy. Lively alleges Wayfarer set up email accounts to communicate with journalists but saved things as drafts to avoid sending discoverable emails and then just gave access to the accounts! Wayfarer wants to limit this to only emails they gave login credentials for, but Lively argues they could have used other methods, like screen sharing.
They also want communications with content creators which Wayfarer seems to limit to those with over 10k followers who create original content. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304.295.0.pdf |
You guys have created this problem for yourselves. Freedman hyped up the Lively hate so that these are the types of amici Baldoni is attracting. Lively now has 4 amicus briefs from like 14 different women's rights organizations, and Baldoni may have one amicus brief from an anti-me-too supporter who is ... taking some interesting positions. As we have seen from this very thread, and as even some Baldoni supporters will admit, some Baldoni supporters are perhaps a little nutso. |
Elyse Dorsey is an organization now? |
Right? Who would have suspected these underhanded methods of avoiding discovery? I also find it interesting to read the meet and confer and follow up correspondence (Attachment A). I've seen parties delay responses in this vein before: attempt to "negotiate" the requests down to something that would provide almost no useful information and meanwhile provide nothing. |
I think the requests are over broad. There are likely many communications with the media about the film that are irrelevant to the allegations, i.e. just fluff pieces. Further, content creator is defined so broadly it would encompass anyone with a social media account. Curious to see Freedman’s response. |
This is just normal trademark stuff. |
Vituscka is a lying idiot. He like most dailymail authors are just trying to stir drama to see what tea each side will spill in response. Freedman should've looked into looked into him more yes. He only apologized because he was threated with a lawsuit. |
I don't think it's normal at all to be avoiding discovery by sharing information via a drafts folder. Or trying to defeat discovery by screen sharing instead of sending an email. I guess this is how this kind of campaign becomes "untraceable." |
What I find interesting is Wayfarer just wants to limit it to those who received login credentials. That appears to be tacitly admitting they did the draft thing, which I find wild, unless it's a game where they narrow the scope and then when it comes time to produce they respond by saying "oh, we don't have any." In the emails they are also arguing about whether Jed's "team in Hawaii" exists. |
At this point, these are just allegations. Which is why I am interested in reading the response. |
There are no such documents attached to the Exhibit A linked above. |
DP there's an attachment with an email thread between the attorneys. |
And Baldoni's attorney is arguing that they should be able to exclude providing contacts with people on Reddit, even though their own text messages talked about Reddit. |
The document linked is only 7 pages and ends with a chart of the discovery requests. Is there another link for the emails? |
