MP3.Com To Sue Over Bad Advice
Posted by Raul Ruiz on Tuesday, January 22 @ 10:43:04 EST Copyright
Law.com is reporting that MP3.com has filed a malpractice lawsuit again Cooley Godward, a law firm, alleging that it was responsible for allowing MP3.com to launch and subsequently be sued for copyright infringement by giving bad advice on the legality of My.MP3.Com (MP3.com Sues Cooley Over Legal Advice). The charges are quite loaded, alleging that Cooley was basically inept their legal analysis of fair use and other copyright doctrines, and perhaps even misrepresented to MP3.com about expert testimony the Cooley firm had secured.

This isn't a small lawsuit either. MP3.com wants $175 million.
