Awhile ago my general counsel and friend Eric Ranisau (@EJR123) alerted me to an important dispute taking place between an entertainment law blog and the Jim Henson Company. The dispute is in regards to the Henson Company taking down a blog post from Matthew Nixon’s Word Moxie blog. It’s a long story with back and forth between Matthew Nixon’s indictment against the Henson Company, Eric Sherman’s objections, and the lawyers for each party electronic trading complaints.
In looking for updates on the dispute I found this from Eric Sherman about the withdrawal of the dispute between the parties: This morning, I was tipped off that there had been significant developments in Sherman v. Nixon. When I logged on to Lexis this morning I discovered that all briefs in that case had been withdrawn without prejudice and the case closed.
Seems like there could easily be issues with bloggers taking down blog posts as well as disputes with TOS agreements being enforced vs 1st amendment rights.
