I hear Ms. McCawley try to characterize the
authorization and control law relevant to republication. I
guess I could ask the Court to disregard what Ms. McCawley and
I say altogether because we have laid out the law. If the
Court looks at, for example, footnote 3 on page 3 of our reply
brief, we cited to five, six cases from the federal district
courts in New York.
In Egiazaryan, the 2012 case, it says the original
publisher is not liable for republication where he had nothing
to do with the decision to republish and he had no control over
it. Well, those are facts, Judge.
In Egiazaryan II, same holding. That's a 2011
opinion.
In Davis v. Costa-Gavras, which is this Court's 1984
decision, what does the court say? Under New York law,
liability for a subsequent republication must be based on real
authority to influence the final product, not upon evidence of
acquiescence or peripheral involvement in the republication
process.
Judge, we are within Davis. We didn't have any
influence over the final product. At best, we had acquiescence
or peripheral involvement, but Davis says that's not enough.
In the earlier Davis case, from 580 F.Supp., at 1094,
it says the original publisher is not liable for injuries
