I was contemplating doing one, so I’m glad it’s not necessary! I might reflect on some of the interesting ones tho. https://www.techdirt.com/2026/11/02/the-openai-copyright-case-has-drawn-a-mountain-of-amicus-briefs-we-sorted-them-for-you/03 Nov 2026 07:37 +0000at://did:plc:3t72libqa2hllhdyzuldpu76/app.bsky.feed.post/3mzfdfcmggs2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/brianlfrye.bsky.social/post/3mzeorqjzds2rExcellent & cleverly argued brief, although I will confess I take the opposite lesson from the same evidence.

More than 50! Is that a record for district court amicus briefs? It’s gotta be for a copyright case.
