I had trouble posting this morning. I wanted to share a bit of response to the vtdigger site
Do you mean she should read this:
"The Ninth Circuit’s model jury instructions on the law of willfulness define a willful infringement as one where the plaintiff proves the following two elements: “1. The defendant engaged in acts that infringed the copyright; and 2. the defendant knew that those acts infringed the copyright.”

If that's the 9th circuits definition of "willful" the defendants infringement is not willful and the judge and jury might knock the assessement down to $200. It's not even willful if we go to the stricter definition in the linked article-- because getting and from a site that is one of many tat advertises it as licensed for free is not 'reckless disregard' or 'willful blindness'.

she should read the 9th circuit decision regarding willful infringement and product and having to go to where the plaintiff has a business or resides or does business.

why were they able to find it still archived on her site 2 years later?I'm guessing. But reading first: note that the image listed as (2) cases in VKT's complaint is really one image hosted at typepad. It's very easy for a user to think they have deleted an image in a typepad post when they have not deleted it. A typical user will select the image, click "delete" and believe they have deleted it. As far as most Typepad users are aware, they have deleted. Unfortunately, Typepad programmers have organized things to be confusing:
