I’m not a lawyer but somehow “admitting you did the thing you’re being accused of, multiple times” doesn’t seem like the soundest legal strategy.
Not a fan of Shkreli but if he bought the record he should be able to make backup copies of it, as long as they’re private
For a normal sale of property, sure. But the terms of this specific purchase included wording to not do that, allegedly.
If I read the article correctly, the problem isn’t so much that he made copies, but rather that he live-streamed them to the public after selling the album.
If he had just kept them private, no one would have ever known, but now the new owner wants him to delete those copies to ensure he doesn’t do it again.
