From skimming, it seems like it did come down to how much direct quoting & paraphrasing was in the Lexicon. And given the examples in there, I'd have to agree it was way, way too much. Sheesh.

Yep. Otherwise, he would have been in the clear. The judge agreed that reference works like the Lexicon were generally fair use. SVA just fucked it up.

if You were ating a banana cream and chocolate cream layered pie, which layer would you like to see on top?

I'm not sure. Why don't you send me one of each so that I can decide?

I would want to see chocolate with whipped cream on top. Ideally, I mean. IRL, I'd take what I could get.

The banana cream layer should be on top.

Personally, this is the kind of question that calls for a practical test.

I agree.

I also agree with this.

The new pastry place in my neighborhood had a pre-opening party on Friday. Made of YUM!

Banana on top and banana on bottom, but only because I can't really eat chocolate desserts.

Cashmere is in a pie-baking frenzy. Whyfor?

Also I like chocolate on top.

Not only is she in a pie-baking frenzy, she's also talking about it on the board a lot. That must mean she's planning to send us all pies!

Pies are much more fun to think about than politics. I watched Waitress this weekend and I'm really wanting to see Pushing Daisies back on TV. Puts me in a pie mood.

I wish I could bake a pie for each and every one of you.
