Summary edit
Description | Infographic diagram of Prenda Law and apparent related entities and individuals, as "adopted" by Federal Court in its May 6 2013 ruling for the case Ingenuity 13 v. Doe. |
---|---|
Author or copyright owner |
Apparently the creation of defense attorney Morgan Pietz ([1] attributes image to Pietz, [2] describes Pietz as having "created" the linked chart). If it turned out to be an original creation of the Federal Court then it would instead be public domain; however, it includes several photographs whose provenance has not been supplied. |
Source (WP:NFCC#4) | Original publication: Originally created for, and published in, filings for Ingenuity 13 v. Doe. (It appears to have been a defense exhibit presented in the 2 April 2013 hearing concerning the principals and related parties of Prenda Law [3][4])
Immediate source: Diagram obtained from Federal Court ruling 6 May 2013 (Page 9). The Court states: "Still, the Court adopts as its finding the following chart detailing Plaintiffs’ relationships. Though incomplete, this chart is about as accurate as possible given Plaintiffs’ obfuscation." |
Date of publication | ?2 April 2013 |
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Prenda Law |
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | The diagram illustrates the currently understood structure of, and surrounding, Prenda Law, as presented by defense attorney Morgan Pietz in Ingenuity 13 v. Doe and adopted by the Federal Court which reproduced it in the ruling dated 6 May 2013: p.9 .
The firm and related entities and persons are acknowledged generally by the Court and media sources to be extremely opaque in structure. ("The Principals also obfuscate other facts, especially those concerning their operations, relationships, and financial interests. The Principals’ web of disinformation is so vast that the Principals cannot keep track..." ruling: p.8-9 ). Therefore an explanatory diagram is relevant and this is the one selected and "adopted" by the Court in its ruling. |
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
This is currently the only diagram or description of the firm's apparent broader structure, as relevant to its legal affairs, that has any kind of reliable sourcing, as the diagram used in the ruling itself. However, although Federal Court documents are public domain, this diagram appears to have been adopted by the Court from an identical diagram originally presented within a defense exhibit, meaning it is copyright. No other sources will exist. |
Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1) |
Not practical to replace by text.
|
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | Minimal resolution for clarity to a reader (dense information) |
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
Source document is minimally used, and attempts to minimize the risk of conflict regarding any commercial use. No other reliable source exists for the subject matter of the article in terms of its related parties and entities - a major feature in the article and also of its mainstream coverage, public discussion, and discussion in other Federal court cases - beyond the sole infographic adopted by the California court to date in its 2013 ruling. |

edit
As described above, the image was a privately created diagram but was also then "adopted" and included in a U.S. Federal Court ruling, which was the source of the image here (to ensure it is exactly as described by the court).
Accordingly it would probably also meet the description and criteria for our former licensing template {{Non-free gov}}
(since withdrawn) as well:
- "where the information or images comes from a governmental source that allows for fair use".
I have kept the actual license as {{Non-free 2D art}} to ensure recognition of the original creator, even though the copy of their work here, and its significance, all derive from its "adoption" within a Federal document (to ensure it accurately reproduces and represents the Court's intention).
