Darn It

I talked to Coon Ass Counsel, John Carmouche, today. He said that he hasn't heard a peep from Chevron regarding a court order to seize all my movie material. So, I guess they have backed off on that. I talked to Joe Berlinger who made the movie Crude (Chevron managed to get his unedited footage by court order) about it. I asked him if it changed what he decides to make movies about and he said, (and I quote) "Hell, no!" He did say, however, that he rarely sends emails anymore because Chevron subpoenaed all his emails and the lawyers turned his words around. So, it did effect his life in that way. And, he said it was "a really expensive process." He had some less-than-flattering assessments of Chevron's legal eagles.
I have to admit I am a little disappointed that Chevron didn't drag my ass into federal court because I've never been to federal court and am kinda curious about it.
