Opening Brief Filed in the Luvdarts DigiPie Appeal Against AT&T, Verizon et al in Ninth Circuit

Sept. 23, 2011 - PRLog -- On September 20, 2011, the appellants' brief in the Luvdarts LLC et al v. AT&T et al was filed in the Ninth Circuit. The case number is 11-55497 (linked below).

What's at stake here is nothing less than the future of creators' rights to monetize peer to peer sharing of their content. Mobile multimedia messaging (MMS) is not some great new art form that will inspire new heights of creativity at this point. Its potential as a new tangible medium of expression is only just beginning. But, at this moment in time - MMS is a secured system that can provide true accountability for transactions of stuff being exchanged.

Amongst the questions now before the Ninth Circuit is the question of whether or not the Defendants/Appellees, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile had the right and ability to control the peer to peer transactions via MMS. The Defendants denied that they had the right and ability at the District Court.

Within the brief, Plaintiffs/Appellants present compelling evidence that the carriers have indeed had the right and the ability since as early as 2002. They just never turned the switch on.

Floyd Crump, a managing member of Luvdarts LLC had this to say, "Besides our obligation to protect our assets from being abused, our goal is to bring attention to the reparable flaws within the carriers' new system for distribution for the good of the whole. If they want to provide new content distribution networks outside of the Internet, they've got to do it right."

Floyd goes on to say, "Fortunately, Perrin F. Disner our attorney, has articulated these flaws and remedies very well in his brief. I'm amazed by his outstanding grasp and representation of the issues that we have been advocating for years. He's been able to articulate our beliefs very well and in fact, taken it to a higher level and in a language the Courts will understand. I couldn't be happier about our representation."

The Defendant's/Appellee's reply brief is due within 30 days.
