If the statute prohibits recovery of attorney fees in cases where the copyright hasn’t been registered, simply relabeling “attorney fees” as “recovery costs” in those cases isn’t going to fly because it makes the statute superfluous. Courts don’t like that.

That’s what I don’t understand. How is this information not Brady material? And if the government can avoid disclosing Brady material simply by putting the information under seal, then Brady is meaningless.
Re: Cops have become such craven weasels these days
That was in Georgia. I actually clicked this link thinking it might be referring to that case. I’m still hopeful that there’s civil litigation going on that will eventually end with a big settlement for that child.
Fourth option. The docket is heavy and the judge just went with what the clerk said. Also, since this was a motion to dismiss then the defendant will have a second chance to end it on the pleadings with a motion for summary judgment. The court will likely take a harder look at that one. No resolving it with three paragraphs. It will require some actual analysis and the court will want to get that right. Or one would hope.
He was charged with Federal crimes and tried by the U.S. attorney. Charges for the physical injuries inflicted on Littlepage would be state crimes, i.e., assault, battery, etc. Forty-two months in federal prison means that Dukes will serve at least 85%. That should be pretty decent vindication for a broken nose. As for the rest, well, Littlepage probably has a pretty nice civil suit in the works and convicted Dukes should find the qualified immunity defense hard to make. So Littlepage may end up with a nice chunk of money for his trouble. And he’ll be able to drive down that street as much as he wants.
Who is going to throw the sheriff in jail? His deputies? The FBI? If they thumb their noses at turning over records, I think they’ll give the big middle finger to policing their own.
