UPDATE: In Which The Lead Lawyer, For The White Country Act... Claims ZERO Availability -- Over 20 Days -- Thus, Playing Discovery Games.

While the estimable Cooley firm, for Anita White (the REAL Lady A), tried diligently to be both flexible and responsive -- in adhering to a Nashville federal court order, to meet and confer about the subpoena disputes, and other discovery-related matters. . . as the linked and filed nine pages of email correspondence plainly document. . . the country act's lawyer seems positively hell-bent on scorched Earth -- making this all as hard as possible, for a remote defendant, with limited means. [It was the white country act that sued her, afterall.]

Not. A. Good. Look. . . for a white country act that claims to have been. . . "woke" (all while stealing a black artist's stage trade-name, persona and actual name). Preposterous.

The country act overnight filed for subpoenas to issue, to no fewer than eight individuals and companies, to see every document and email the Real Lady A has related to her bookings, appearances and earnings (presumably in an impotent attempt to tamp down an infringement award amount).

But that is not how the law works. Once Ms. Anita White shows the wilfulness of The Lady Antebellum campaign -- to slyly take away her right to use her own name. . . then triple damages -- calculated on the sale of the white country act's tickets and merchandise. . . will lie. In sum, this will. . . backfire.

Onward, grinning. Now you know.
