Law Professor (?!?) Claims Copyright Infringement Because Blog Uses Faculty Photo In Blog Post; TechDirt, 11/4/09

Mike Masnick, TechDirt; Law Professor (?!?) Claims Copyright Infringement Because Blog Uses Faculty Photo In Blog Post:

"Just because you're a law professor, it doesn't mean you really understand the law, apparently. Eric Goldman (a law professor who does understand the law) alerts us to a bizarre lawsuit involving University of Miami law professor D. Marvin Jones, who was the subject of a series of blog posts on the popular law blog, AboveTheLaw, concerning a 2007 attempt where Jones was detained by police for allegedly soliciting a prostitute -- something he vehemently claims was not true, and authorities did, in fact, drop the charges and expunge the record. Jones makes a few different claims against ATL, all of which seem frivolous and unlikely to stand, but the most ridiculous of all is the claim that his copyright was violated by ATL using his faculty photo."
