How have the courts treated a plaintiff's claim of superior knowledge or expertise in the context of VFX litigation?

There is no similar suggestion of superior knowledge or expertise in this case. By identifying himself as a vfx professional and signing off as a VFX Recruit, Doe 2 let the recipients of his emails know that he is a skilled worker who is new to the profession rather than an executive in a position of power or another person with inside knowledge. Doe 2's self-identification as a recruit also belied any suggestion he was an attorney or person with any particular knowledge about, or authority on, industry business practices. (Cf. Franklin v. Dynamic Details, Inc . (2004) 116 Cal.App.4th 375, 389, 10 Cal.Rptr.3d 429 [non-attorney's charge that plaintiff stole and plagiarized copyright material were statements of protected opinion based on disclosed facts].)
