SCHNACKENBERG, Circuit Judge
(concurring in part, and dissenting in part).
I concur in Judge DUFFY’S opinion insofar as it disapproves the assessment of attorneys’ fees against plaintiff.
Insofar as the opinion upholds the district court’s finding and judgment on the merits of the case, I dissent. Even from those facts set forth in the majority opinion, it appears that the findings of the master and the district court are clearly erroneous. Rule 53(e) (2), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. An examination of all the evidence in the record convinces me of Millard’s transparent and shocking piracy of plaintiff’s publications. For the wrongful and clearly established infringement, I would grant relief to this researcher and author.
