Can anyone recommend any good L.A. Superior Court cases that would shed          light on Los Angeles Judaism?

None of the cases with documents available          looked interesting.  Around 1999, Dennis met Scott Webley, a former actor on General Hospital          (1977-1978) who owned a production company (ShowBiz Studios) and several          internet businesses (Showbiz.com, etc).  According to Los Angeles Superior Court case BC 357131 (in an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lukeford.net\/Images\/photos3\/1215324113.pdf\">Oct.          5, 2006 filing<\/a> by Scott Webley&#8217;s attorneys), Prager and Webley agreed          orally in late 2000 or early 2001 to operate The Prager Perspective Limited          Liability Company to sell Prager&#8217;s writings, radio show, and talks via          dennisprager.com, etc, and split the revenues.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>17. Beginning, in or about January 2001 through in or about late 2003            or early 2004, Prager and his assistant Alan Briese delivered the master            tapes of the Radio Show to Prager LLC&#8217;s office. During this time, Prager            and his assistant Alan Briese represented to Cross-Complainants that            these master tapes were lawfully taken from the Radio Station [KRLA]            and Cross-Complainants [Scott Webley and TPP] were to transfer these            recordings onto cassette tapes and\/or CD for sale and distribution.  18. Salem, with Prager&#8217;s knowledge, consent, and\/or direction, knowingly            and intentionally, and to further the business of Prager LLC, Salem            uploaded electronic feeds of each daily broadcast from the Radio Show            directly onto the Website in or about late 2003 or early 2004. &#8230;to            on or about January 13, 2006. Prager LLC made the Radio Show available            to its customers by way of electronic downloads&#8230;  21. &#8230;Prager LLC offered a membership subscription for a variety of            services.  22. Cross-Complainants&#8230;believe&#8230;that Salem discovered in or about            the summer of 2005 that Prager LLC was a successful and profitable business            venture&#8230;.  23. At this same time&#8230;Cross-Complainants learned Prager had entered            into an agreementwith Salem regarding the Radio Show&#8230; Salem contended            Prager had transferred all production and syndication rights to the            Radio Show&#8230; Salem wrongfully demanded that Prager LLC, including its            members Webley and Prager, turn over the Website and anything related            to the Radio Show to Salem&#8230;  24. On or about January 13, 2006, Salem discontinued the uploads of            electronic recordings of the Radio Show onto the Website.  25. Shortly thereafter, customers contacted Prager LLC and complained            that they could not access the downloads of the Radio Show. Because            the downloads of the Radio Show ere no longer available, Prager LLC            was forced to refund membership subscriptions&#8230;  27. On or about June 14, 2006, Salem Radio filed an action in the Ventura            County Superior Court entitled Salem Radio Network Incorporated v. The            Prager Perspective, LLC and Scott Webley&#8230;transferred to Central District            of the Los Angeles Superior Court&#8230;BC 358558. The Salem Lawsuit alleges            in part:  a. Salem Radio and Prager entered into an agreement on or about November            6, 2000 that only Salem Radio would produce and syndicate the Radio            Show.  c. Webley and Prager LLC, not Prager, wrongfully copied the Radio Show            from 2001 to January 2006 onto the Website. Webley and Prager LLC then            marketed, sold, and distributed electronic and tangible expressions            of the Radio Show on the Website and collected $300,000 in revenue without            compensating Salem Radio.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--adsense--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Prager Perspective (Scott Webley) Vs.
