  • holding that a party cannot rely on a “blind affidavit to retract admissions...”
  • recognizing “that a party might be able to explain away his prior inconsistent statements” and stating that a party should be bound by such statements only if they are unexplained
  • recognizing \that a party might be able to explain away his prior inconsistent statements\ and stating that a party should be bound by such statements only if they are unexplained
  • noting that the record did not support summary judgment on the basis of abandonment because it was possible to interpret the plaintiff's conduct as consistent with a desire to maintain his copyright
  • explaining circumstances under which \testimony can and should be rejected without a trial [because] no reasonable person would believe it\
  • disregarding plaintiff’s testimony because it contradicted “numerous and unequivocal” pre-litigation admissions and his attempt to explain his prior inconsistent statements was both “incredible” and “incomplete”
