According to [[Universal v. Reimerdes]], DeCSS was a single case that
included all defendants. Does one party 'go first' in cases like
this?
MPAA would loose nothing by including Wikipedia in a suit against
Wired even if we only linked to the Wired article that published it,
after all that was the crux of the latter part of the DeCSS case: 2600
deep linking to other publishers.
The thing is, the WMF, unlike Wired, is not a publisher, or at least
is going to claim it's not a publisher. So the two cases would be
inherently different.
