About

We are a leader in Technology Law including software audits, illegal-movie-downloading lawsuit defense and subpoena response, and general copyright infringement matters (ex. fonts, music, fashion). We have appeared in over 160 federal court cases in our 15 years of law practice.

In the area of software audits, we are one of the few intellectual property law firms in California that have a niche practice area in the software audit space. This includes helping business owners from across the United States in responding to software audit letters from trade organizations such as the Business Software Alliance (BSA), the Software Information Industry Association (SIIA), Autodesk, Adobe, Microsoft, Siemens, CNC Mastercam, SolidWorks, Altium, Vero Software, and others.

In the area of "torrent defense" we have helped clients who are being accused of federal copyright infringement, or who have received subpoena notices from their ISP (ex. Comcast, Cox. AT&T, Verizon, Time Warner) in regard to movies believed to have been illegally downloaded through "BitTorrent" protocol such as movies produced by Strike 3 Holdings, Malibu Media, London Has Fallen (LHF Productions), Mechanic Resurrection (ME2 productions), Flava Works, and others. We also handle Joe Hand Promotions, G & G Closed Circuit Events, UFC, J & J Sports, Innovative Sports Management, and others.

We also have assisted athletes and business owners in California "Right of Publicity" matters involving the illegal use of a person's name, image likeness, nickname, voice, personality, and identity.

We also help YouTube content creators, photographers, videographers, and other creative professionals in copyright cases including DMCA takedowns, fair use analysis, and related matters.

Someone on my video channel asked me for my top 5 tips for new law students. Here it goes - I have my own general tips. They make not work for everyone, but worked for me. 1. I always got the bar review tapes BEFORE a class started. For example, before contract course, I took two weeks to review/outline listening to the bar review tapes (I am an audio/visual learner). When I walked into class, while everyone was fumbling around I knew what was going on, what was bar tested, and what was professor philosophising. I passed the CA bar exam (first time, and did not take bar review or panic at bar test day). Using this approach.... 2. I did not need study groups. I did not like wasting time. I put in my own work the best I could at each class. Some classes I wasn't great at (ex. Wills and Trusts but oh well). 3. Make sure to tax time to exercise and eat right. This is an endurance sport. 4. I liked listening to classical music while I studied (some studies suggested this helps with memory). Not sure if this helps, but it did for me. 5. Have fun. Mingle with other students. This is a great undertaking so get to now other people. You will become colleagues in the future. Don't spend too much time talking after exams, when everyone freaks out about "I spotted this, or didn't spot that." It's okay, you not going to spot everything. But, truly enjoy this great time in life that is my tip #5. There it is, you got my top 5. #lawstudents #torts #contracts #evidence #conlaw See you at the bar!

TIP FOR LSAT TAKERS (Law School Admissions Test), my nephew is going for the gold, studying like crazy, he asked me if I had any tips to help him. I told him, the thing I remember (from a couple decades ago), is that look at it this way - there is an examiner TRYING TO FOOL YOU. Do you like people who try to fool you? No, he said. I SAID WELL BUST YOUR ASS AND DON'T LET THEM DO IT. When you are a lawyer, the opposing counsel will be trying to fool you too. Learn how to outsmart, and more importantly, OUTWORK, them now. Good luck #LSAT #LawStudentTIps
Did you catch Corona Virus after riding on Uber or Lyft? It never ceases to amaze me how you can schedule a ride to your local restaurant or sporting event on Drive sites like UBER or LYFT, and recently my wife "Frontline Lisee" booked such a trip through Uber. Their app immediately informed her to MEET THE UBER DRIVE OUT WITH A MASK ON (Covid mask obviously). Which is fine, but as a civil litigation attorney, this got me thinking, WHAT DOES UBER DO FOR YOU AS FAR AS PROTECTING THEIR RIDERS from catching the Covid or Corona virus? I asked my wife to make sure to ask the driver for the following questions so that her safety and our safety is protected to the extent we can: 1. When was your last trip where you drove a rider? 2. Was the rider wearing a mask? 3. If no, why not? 4. Was the vehicle sanitized after the ride? If so, in what ways. If not, why not? 5. To the driver: Have you been tested for Covid-19? If so, when was the last time? 6. Do you have any reason to believe anyone you drove today may have had a cold or virus? If so, what do you know? 7. In the last 48 hours, has anyone in your vehicle have a hard time breathing? 8. In the last 48 hours, has anyone in your vehicle had a cough that concerned you? If so, when and why? 9. How often do you sanitize your vehicle? 10. What steps, including products, do you use/undertake to make sure your car is not causing any risk to public health and safety? Please be specific. This may be an uncomfortable line of questions for many, I realize that, but when it comes to your health and safety, and that of your family, friends and others, these are common sense questions. If the driver will not answer these no-nonsense questions, personally, I would not take the ride. So, while it is nice that UBER and LYFT may ask YOU to wear a mask before using their service, YOU DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASK THEM QUESTIONS THAT PERTAIN TO YOUR SAFETY and which seek to slow the spread of this nasty virus. Here is a simple printable questionnaire I created which you may want to provide to your driver, or at least ask the questions. This disease is too damn serious than to just trust a stranger driver and his/her car. https://www.scribd.com/document/482293494/Uber-and-Lyft-Covid-19-Driver-Questionnaire SCRIBD.COM Uber and Lyft Covid-19 Driver Questionnaire

I love being a lawyer who can listen, understand and make a difference. #lawyerlife

I LOVE MY PEEPS: Great tribute from one of my loyal YouTube folks today (it's why I spend so much time on my channel) "thank you Steve! Love your videos and have learned so much from them! Sometimes I ask questions on YouTube, and we have actually shared a couple e-mails. We are fighting a local borough on vacancy ordinances, Right-to-Know Laws, Civil Contempt, and coming soon, a Federal Lawsuit. We wouldn't have been able to go Pro Se as long as we have without your help. We have had two good attorneys along the way, but wasted so much money on bad ones. Without you, we would not have learned about Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, how to write Civil contempt complaints, etc. Just a personal thank you from me and my Bride."

ATTORNEY STEVE® TOP TWO JOB IDEAS FOR MILLENIALS: 1. BBQ Cleaning: More people are staying at home, which means the BBQ is firing up. Many do not want to clean their BBQ. Start a cleaning business in the high rent districts of your city. $100 per hour (avg. 3 hours per cleaning). Clean 1-4 grills per day. 2. Smart homes: As people are staying home - this may be the nature of "living" for many years to come. Learn to HANG A TV. Take it from there. Upsell the TV's, and create a "smart home" (learn lights, video, audio). Dudes and Dudettes, big bucks here. College won't teach you this. These are TRADES. Learn them and SKIP the college debt trap. When you make big money remember Attorney Steve® told ya. Get off the couch. Stop being paralyzed and realize social media is not a career.
MISCONCEPTIONS: Lawyers use the word "ARGUE" but what it really means is the art of creating a logical argument supported by fact and case law. It is NOT a MEAN THING by any measure. #law #lawyer #lawyerlife #attorneysteve
