Anticipating the "why submit this now?" question:

1. I'd just read of the reversal in comments whilst re-watching Adam Neely's excellent video on the case: https://youtube.com/watch?v=0ytoUuO-qvg

2. AFAICT it's not yet been posted to HN.

Court's opinion here: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6811983-Darkhorse.ht...

I was happy to see this posted because I have been citing this as an example of misguided application of copyright protection to muscial snippets, and unaware that it had been overturned last year.

The appeals-court verdict reads much more sensibly than the initial trial-court decision.

The entire episode, and quite frankly the industry, are both madness, still.
