EFF responds to pearLyrics story
IP attorney Fred von Lohmann at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has written an open letter to Jane Dyball of Warner/Chappell Music Group Ltd.
The letter discusses reasons why software such as pearLyrics is not legally infringing on copyrights. It focuses on U.S. law, and may or may not apply to pearLyrics author Walter Ritter, who resides in Austria.
This is a good move on the EFF’s part, not just to stand up for Walter Ritter, but to help deter similar cease-and-desist letters from going out to American software developers.
