justifications which are unavailing and devoid of any legal merit. Rather than cease their
infringement, or even account to President Trump, the Defendants have doubled down; in an
avaricious attempt to reap more benefits from their ongoing violation of President Trump’s
rights, Defendants have converted the audio not only into an audiobook but also into derivative
works, including a CD, paperback, and e-book—again, all at the expense of President Trump and
without accounting to him.

Publishing, President Trump has the clear right and capability to publish his own words and his
own voice

No. It's a look at me; daddy called a loser, send money suit.
Yes. While I am a lawyer, this is not my area of the law. That being said, this suit appears to have far more merit than many of the suits filed by Trump over the last few years. Cf. RICO complaint against Clinton, Comey, et al. Of course, I have not seen the defense’s position so I may be completely off base. Trump may not win, but at least his position is plausible on its face, not just crazy lawfare.
Yeah, that is exactly right. Neither Simon & Schuster nor Woodward are new at this game. They should be prepared for this. I'd be astonished if they are not.MN-Skeptic wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 2:07 am I would think that Simon & Schuster would have had their lawyers review any contracts involved before they published anything.
Yes, and it's too bad that Trump couldn't find some lawyers to look at the contract(s), if any. Imagine working in the White House and not being able to find any good lawyers, tsk tsk.MN-Skeptic wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 2:07 am I would think that Simon & Schuster would have had their lawyers review any contracts involved before they published anything.
