There’s always something to howl about.

You can view or download mirrored copies of ActiveRain’s complaint and Move, Inc.’s response at BloodhoundBlog

The PDF files of ActiveRain’s complaint against Move, Inc., and Move’s response, both attested to be linked from ActiveRain, are no longer there. (See comment below from Jonathan Washburn; the disappearance was apparently inadvertent.)

I am fairly reliably paranoid about crap like this, so I took copies of the two files while they were still available.

Here is ActiveRain’s petition of complaint.

And here is Move, Inc.’s response to that petition.

As someone pointed out the other day, these documents are public records in the State of California, available for inspection by anyone in the jurisdiction where they were filed.

On the other hand, these particular scanned PDF representations of those documents are presumably the work product of ActiveRain.

Whether the added labor of scanning the documents and rendering them as PDF files grants ActiveRain (or anyone) copyright protection is a colorable argument.

However: I will happily remove them upon receipt of a Cease and Desist Order from either party’s attorneys, replacing the documents with a scanned copy of that Cease and Desist Order.
