The case gets transferred back to New York where it belongs, gets assigned to Judge Gardafi.
And Judge Gardafi, who's who's really good but really slow, takes him years to make decisions, finally made the ruling.
Donald Trump argued, I own half the copyright of my own interview.
He ran to the copyright office and filed a notice of claim that he was the author, along with Bob Woodward, of his own interview.
Now that's not how copyright law works.
Copyright
Fundamentally, and we could I could bore our audience with hours about it, but fundamentally, the first to fix in a permanent medium.
some uh creative expression.
So the first to get it down on paper, to put it down on digital, to put it down on video or audio, that's who owns the copyright.
And so they the Simon and Schuster files the copyright.
Claiming authorship by Woodward.
Trump comes in five days later and says, No, I'm the author.
Copyright office says we don't fix, we don't settle these things.
You go to court for these things.
So finally, the judge ruled based on the complaint that there is no ability for Donald Trump to argue that he owns part of that copyright and therefore owns some or all of the $50 million that was owed.
He did give, Gardafi did give Donald Trump.
One more chance.
This would now be his fourth attempt at a complaint.
That's how he hasn't he has his complaints have not survived three prior three prior motions.
He has one more shot.
