No, he did not 'get the story right'. He said he was reporting on the
pleadings and then he misrepresented what the pleadings said. They are
fairly straightforward but if he really didn't understand them, then
he had an obligation not to file his report.

I don't believe he misunderstood the pleadings. He simply
mischaracterized and sensationalized them.

*After* Fisher's story was published the plaintiff's spokesman
wouldn't confirm that his client recognized the right to have personal
copies. That can't conceivably make Fisher's story accurate. If I post
a story to this list saying that Craig White died yesterday it is
hardly an accurate story simply because you are not immortal.
