Ok...Who the hell are Nixon Peabody?

[ChurchHatesTucker]

It's a law firm.

[Chashmal]

Church, You seem to have a personal beef with this company. Did they do something wrong to you that you are out to get them?

[ChurchHatesTucker]

No, I've never had dealings with NP. I just didn't like how they were handling a minor embarassment. To their credit, once the pushback from the internet started they realized it was hopeless and gave up trying to take the song down.

[phonebook9876]

I think that's a great song. It's got what the people in the business refer to as a "hook". I'd like to download it and put it on my ipod: it's a good song to spin to. Anyone who doesn't like this song probably doesn't like American Idol (only the greatest show on TV).

[ChurchHatesTucker]

It is catchy, but then so are diseases.

Anyway, you can get an MP3 over at the "Above The Law" blog.

So, am I to believe that *everyone* is a winner at Nixon Peabody?

[thebradseed]

I'll have to listen again and get back to you. Can I prepare a memo for you by Monday?

[username0909]

"Fair use is a bitch."

Priceless! :)

[devilndeep]

Remember me assholes? I am the one who kicked your sorry asses per free speech on the internet while you were defending that scum telco call Primus! What's like to get your asses kicked? It felt great over here.. Scum law firm, bunch of losers....Arnold Porter is much better, the besty

So Screw you

[UncleChato]

Oh, I forgot to tell you. I was doing some research on President Nixon when I found this! Talk about lawyers!

[UncleChato]

Seems to me Nixon Peabody got superior publicity in major publications by being a bitch.

There is no such thing as bad publicity!

Ask the surviving members of OJ Simpson's "Dream Team!"

PS: Robert Vaughn, please come home!

[bigbigbigbigbella123]

haha nice try but you're wrong

[evilspawn4848]

wait...if youtube is a 100% free website how can they make them take it down even if it is copywrited...copywriteing is used to keep people from makeing money off other peoples idea...not to stop people from shareing other peoples ideas

[squeapler]

Do they do IP law? Because after that abusive takedown notice, no copyright law student with a brain is going to want to work there. Just sayin'.

[weatherlady76]

When I say "former" employee, I mean I'm an attorney who worked there in the late 90's and/or early 2000's. I left to pursue a better position elsewhere, but I'd like to think I'm still a winner... ; )

[DWalkerZ1011]

Hi! I'm Mary Barones daughter, Emily. My Mom is a secratary for some guy at NP. She thought your video is funny! I guess it is. Anywyas, I do agree that Nixon Peabody was kind of a sore loser. I think it was funny and they should've laughed along. By the way, former NP person, do you work there still? What does former mean? I might know you. Also, iwrubles, don't talk about my mom's law firm that way! I know they were pretty retarded. But still you don't have to be so excited they got mad.

[jwrubles]

I am a winrar at a rival law firm, and as a litigator, I am delighted by their pain. The takedown notice was (and while I often use this word lightly, here I mean it) retarded. I didn't think partners were even capable of spazzing out that bad.
