This is one case that makes me wish I was still practicing law. My argument would be on behalf of municipalities: I would sue UMG for damages for filling the landfill with nonbiodegradable waste because if they own it forever, they still own it. And I would ask the court to grant injunctive relief to require UMG to remove all of their CDs from the municipal landfill. It could be fun to watch them squirm.
