In response to a comment about keeping notes, which any reasonable person would interpret as meaning private notes.
What got my goat, though, wasn't the mere, if silly, clarification that notes are only protected if they're private. It's the phrasing of the quote to suggest that somehow these notes should have been considered private because the publisher didn't intend on anyone reading them (despite publishing them such that they could).
What court wording are you referencing? The judgment says "private home page which is none the less accessible to anyone who knows its address", a very different turn of phrase.
I meant do you have a source for the court notes where they said that. It doesn't sound like a quote to me, it sounds like a precis.
In fact it sounds like a precis of the quote I provided, but I could also imagine the defendant's lawyer saying it in the more loaded way presented here.
