January 17, 2018 Filing 164 ENDORSED LETTER addressed to ken@norwickschad.com (Copy) cooper@norwickschad.comfrom Justin Goldman dated 1/13/2018 re: I state the following under penalty of perjury: When I posted my Tom Brady photo to Snapchat, I did so through Snapchat's "My Story" option. It was and is my understanding that "My Story" postings can only be seen by the specific people I have authorized in advance to see those postings. I can't say now how many people were authorized by me to see my 'My Story" postings at that time, but I can say that that number does not exceed 90, and could well have been fewer. I had no intention of making the Photo available to anyone else beyond those authorized to see my "My Story" postings and I do not believe I did so. When I posted the Photo to Snapchat, I had a choice to post it either to "My Story," which is limited to those I authorize to see it, or to "Our Story," which would be accessible to the public at large, without restriction. I deliberately chose the "My Story" option, because I did not want the general public to have access to it. If I did, I would have posted it to a different platform, such as Twitter, or Facebook or lnstagram, where it could have been seen without restriction. I did not want that and did not do that. And I did not authorize any of the people who did have access to my "My Story" posting to share it elsewhere. ENDORSEMENT: Ordered. Post to docket. So Ordered. (Signed by Judge Katherine B. Forrest on 1/16/2018) (js)

December 18, 2017 Filing 159 SUPPLEMENTAL MEMORANDUM OF LAW in Support re: 119 MOTION for Partial Summary Judgment -- Defendants' Notice of Motion for Partial Summary Judgment. in Response to Court's Order of 12/1/17. Document filed by Time Inc.. (Koonce, Lacy)
December 1, 2017 Filing 158 ORDER: The Court has reviewed the parties' submissions. Based on the current record, it does not appear that there are triable issues of fact on the question of copyright liability (or non-liability) with regard to "embedding." The trial date is therefore adjourned as a "trial," but the parties should hold the first day of the allotted time (Tuesday, January 16, 2018) for oral argument. The Court will decide at a later date whether oral argument is necessary. With that said, the Court is not convinced in need resolve that question in order to resolve the claims herein. Given the submissions, it is clear that the defendants are several layers down from the plaintiff: an initial known friend posted the content at issue, another known person re-posted it on a site (Reddit). From there, it was picked up and tweeted by "John/Jane Doe." When John/Jane Doe used Twitter to post the work, he/she did so pursuant to Twitter's terms of service. Defendants submitted the Twitter terms of service as part of their statement of undisputed facts. (ECF No. 120.) Plaintiff did not dispute the terms of service. Those terms provide that the user-that is, the individual who posts the tweet with content-conveys to Twitter a non-exclusive license to use, display, and broadcast the work, and to sublicense others to do the same. Based on these terms of service, it appears to the Court that the defendants' position is derivative of Twitter's; that is, if Twitter's connection to the content was pursuant to an actual or implied license, then so is the defendants'. Thus the Court would like additional briefing, as further set forth herein. Each side should submit their views on the above simultaneously not later than December 18, 2017, and as further set forth in this order. (Signed by Judge Katherine B. Forrest on 12/1/2017) (ap)

October 4, 2017 Filing 117 ORDER. The Court is in receipt of plaintiff's letter regarding the evidentiary hearing set for October 25, 2017 and is surprised that he has asked defendant Herald to "produce one or more witnesses and documents concerning...a) the interrelationships and finances of the three entities and b) the provenance of the 'embedded' Photo." (ECF No. 116.) This is not the time to conduct additional discovery or to delve into the merits. Plaintiff bears the burden of proof on this jurisdictional question and needs to subpoena specific witnesses or offer documents in his possession. We have already had jurisdictional discovery. To be clear, defendant Herald is neither required to produce unnamed witnesses or additional documents nor obliged to do anything relating to the "provenance" of the photo at this hearing. Herald does not bear the burden of proof with regards to personal jurisdiction in this case, and the time for additional jurisdictional discovery has passed. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Katherine B. Forrest on 10/4/2017) (rjm).
