PLEASE READ THESE FACTS FIRST:

  • Random House sued ME; not the other way around.
  • Random House filed suit to silence the facts I was posting on the web.
  • There has been NO trial on the facts, only the Random House effort to prevent a trial.
  • NO expert testimony was allowed despite three international plagiarism experts who were willing to testif that it existed.
  • The only sworn statements made under penalty of perjury are affidavits from me and my experts, nothing from RH.
  • The judge refused to consider any expert analysis.
  • Despite suing me first, Random House & Sony UNsuccessfully demanded that I pay the $310,000 in legal fees they spent to sue me.
  • Contrary to the Random House spin, I am not alleging plagiarism of general issues, but of several hundred very specific ones.
  • This is not about money. Anything I win goes to charity.

Timing

Two days after we made the private offer to settle in exchange for a Katrina donation, the RH lawyers filed a demand in court asking me to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. This despite the fact that they sued ME (not the other way around) and all I had done was present the facts as best I could regarding the situation.

Remember, this stuff gets filed AFTER I've made the offer.

I would never have made them the offer had I known they were going to make such outrageous and unjustified claims.

We have filed our notice of appeal, and as I stated in an earlier blog post, we're are prepared to take this all the way to the Supreme Court.
