Greenberg v. National Geographic Society II, curious copyright case

On June 21, the Fulton County Daily Report noted that a panel of the 11th Circuit in a June 13 ruling in Greenberg v. National Geographic Society II, 97-03924-CV, reversed a separate panel's 2001 opinion, Greenberg v. National Geographic Society I, 244 F.3d 1267, on the basis of intervening law in the Supreme Court Tasini decision, 533 U.S. 233.

The article also stated: In an appellate brief in Greenberg II, Norman Davis suggested that the 2nd Circuit's rulings in other National Geographic cases "set up a conflict" with 11th Circuit Judge Stanley F. Birch's 2001 opinion "through the misapplication of Tasini" and argued that "any resolution of the conflict between the two circuits should be left to the Supreme Court."
