ERDC Authorization hearings, Day Two

Gosh, I was in court all day with the below, and the scanner isn't ready at the moment for graphical stuff (Mainly I've been drawing silly pictures of real people, and don't want to spread them around too much). So here's the update of what was happening. Wednesday will be the last day.

Lawyers for the opposition took the floor today at the Electronic Rights
Defense Committee class action authorization hearings. Some harsh
things were said. For example, it was alleged that the ERDC was not a
serious group, and consisted of only a handful of "hard core" members.

The opposition will continue for part of tomorrow (Wednesday), but our
representative, Me. Mireille Goulet, will have her time for a rebuttal.
After that, it's up to Judge Eva Petras, but she is unlikely to hand
down her decision immediately. Whatever happens, we'll keep you posted.

Having members of the freelance writing community present at the hearing
is important, and helps our case. Please turn out for the final day of
hearings, tomorrow, Wednesday
February 27, 2008, at the Palais de Justice Montreal, 1 Notre Dame East
(between Notre Dame and St. Jacques at boul. St. Laurent - Metro Place
des Armes), 16th floor, Room 16.01 at 9:15 am, on the dot. There will be a
break for
lunch about 12:30 p.m., and the hearing will resume about 2:15 p.m.
