Sacred Text, Technology, and the DMCA (2003). At present, along with UCLA colleague Prof. Neil Netanel, he is co-authoring a book for Oxford University Press regarding five centuries of rabbinic copyright responsa, entitled From Maimonides to Microsoft. He has taught copyright at UCLA Law School for many years, as well as representing clients in the entertainment, publishing, and high-technology fields. He has twice gone to Washington D.C. on behalf of clients whose copyright matters were before the Supreme Court. The first occasion resulted in a unanimous decision in favor of his client, which simultaneously drew the boundaries between copyright and trademark protection. The second matter did likewise, in a decision issued in March 2010 that vitally affects all freelance writers in the country and the databases that present their historical works. Other litigation highlights include successfully representing Matthew Bender & Co. before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in its quest to unlock West's effective monopoly on presenting judicial opinions; convincing the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals to rebuff an opponent's attempt to have copyright law control manufacture of a universal garage door opener; and winning a case in the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals that allowed his client unfettered rights to publish Jesus: A New Revelation. Along the way, other litigated cases have ranged from the status of Winnie-the-Pooh to the collected choreography of Martha Graham to the Google Books settlement in New York City (still pending, for which he represents the interests of Amazon.com). Nimmer has given congressional testimony on behalf of the United States Telephone Association and the National Association of Broadcasters. In addition, he gave parliamentary testimony in Sydney on behalf of the Combined Newspaper and Magazine Copyright Committee of Australia. He once offered an amicus brief to the Supreme Court of Israel—which took six years to decide the case, in the process declining his offer. He responded by publishing a 223-page article in the Houston Law Review, Copyright in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
