MPAA says 1st Amendment protects studios from Google “fishing expedition”
Credit:
Google has gone too far and has undertaken a "fishing expedition" in its bid to substantiate allegations the motion picture studios and Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood conspired with each other as Hood probed the search giant.
That's the response from the Motion Picture Association of America's lawyers. They are trying to head off Google subpoenas in connection to Google's suit to block Hood's investigation about whether the search engine was responsible for facilitating piracy of the studios' content. According to a court filing (PDF) this week by MPAA lawyers Jenner & Block.
