Read the Complaint Hyman. Just read the Complaint. It's a matter of
public record. I'll kiss your ass on the public square if it mentions
any registered copyrights.

ROFL.

"Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 411(a) as well as its predecessor, § 13, it has
been held repeatedly that ownership of a copyright registration is a
jurisidictional prerequisite to an action for infringement. . . . A
complaint which fails to plead compliance with § 411(a) is defective and
subject to dismissal."; Techniques, Inc. v. Rohn, 592 F.Supp. 1195,
1197; 225 U.S.P.Q. 741 (S.D.N.Y. 1984).

ROFL.

Who's the World gonna' believe Hyman? You or their own lying eyes?

Keep spinnin' Hyman -- it won't help -- but keep spinnin' anyway.

Sincerely,
