As long as the claim is timely to when the infringement is discovered. Important clarification.
What if I discover it and just forget until I want to “discover” it?
It seems immaterial. It might as well be infinite.
That’s something that could come out during discovery. And refusing to supply it would hurt your case as well as the court can then assume whatever is most detrimental to your case as the reason you didn’t disclose it.

Good job Texas. Get raped better say something within 10 years. Download Shrek 2 from YouTubeDownloaderDotJizz and you’re on the FBI most wanted list the rest of your life.
- We create ghost projects. Like, lots of them. Basically just ideas, like what a patent troll would do. “Pokemon Lemmy: it’s a Pokemon clone with a Lemmy inspired story.”

- They are forced to treat every nothing-project as if it’s a big popular IP stomping hit.
- If they don’t do anything about the nothing-project after 3 years, you pick it up for real.

Time for our elected officials to do their job and change/modernize the copyright act
