    earlier in the day, Ed had been served with papers on behalf of an individual out of Florida who was suing the band RE: bootlegs,...

    What you mean sueing the band i.e bootlegs though? What's wrong with them selling bootlegs?
  • He was saying the people trying to sue the band claim they had come up with the idea of bootlegs. Thats how I saw it. Hope it helps.

    I always assumed it was an entity that was claiming copyright and/or trademark rights to the technology they were using to create and sell bootlegs in the early 2000s--this entity I assume filed a lawsuit against the band to gain payment for what they argued Pearl Jam "stole." The papers he refers to -- I assume -- were subpoena papers--not to be confused with rolling papers which one uses to roll joints.

    Maybe it's the American legal system that is throwing you. If so, Americans are lawsuit happy--that's all you need to know.

    Yes, someone was suing Pearl Jam, claiming that they came up with the idea of live bootlegs. I remember reading an article about it back in 03 but can't find anything about it now.

    technology?

    "software" ... "delivery infrastructure" -- something I really don't know for sure since I didn't file the lawsuit, so if you have a more accurate word to use in place of "technology" then please suggest it.
