while Comcast has argued on the federal level that the FCC lacks the authority to punish them, they're arguing in California that the FCC does in fact have that authority, making these localized lawsuits unnecessary.
Just another case of yet another giant American corporation (1) Cherry-picking as to when it wants to be regulated vs. not, and (2) Demonstrating what a complete and utter joke the FCC is.

Re: Business As Usual
The judge made the decision - not Comcast.
And Comcast comments on the subject:
A Comcast spokesperson denied there was any contradiction "What we have argued in the Hart case is that the FCC believes it has jurisdiction here, and the court should wait to see what action the FCC takes," the spokesperson said.
At the same time, federal judges in Washington, who would decide any appeal of the FCC's actions, won't necessarily come to the same conclusion as a federal judge in California.

You make it out like the California judge made it entirely on his own without either side having said anything and that's just not accurate. It is your one-sided opinion.

Go off topic much?
(2) Not every image used in the public domain gets a royalty fee, whatever that is. At least try reading Copyright 101 first when you decide to go OT to sound intelligent.

I'm sorry you don't know what a royalty fee is. Maybe you should look it up before you try to sound intelligent and troll my posts. |

Re: Business As Usual
It is the job of COMCAST's lawyers to defend COMCAST's interest in court. It is the complaintants lawyers to argue its case as well. The judge applies the law to the process.
I expect and want COMCAST to pursue its interests in court. Its job is not to lie down and be trampled by the litigants. COMCAST's lawyers made a good argument and the judge accepted it. Good job!
The case is suspended, not dismissed. It will come back another day. |

If Comcast argues that the FCC has no jurisdiction and wins, then if they ever argue that the FCC does have jurisdiction, the precedent only hurts them.
What are Comcast's lawyers going to say? They were mistaken the first time? That they were for it before they were against it?  |

You're just ticked because someone called you out on your usage of royalty fees which BTW has nothing to do with copyright. A royalty fee is a payment made for the usage of a Patent. Two entirely different items, there, champ. |

Why do artists get paid royalties when a tv commercial uses thier song? |

said by LeftOfSanity :Why do artists get paid royalties when a tv commercial uses thier song? Because the word "royalty" has been used and abused ad nauseum by writers who didn't bother to determine what the definition of the word actually was before they used it. |
