Traverse Internet Law Federal Court Report: December 2011 - Copyright Infringement Cases


The facts are unproven allegations of the Plaintiff and all commentary is based upon the allegations, the truthfulness and accuracy of which are likely in dispute.


FRASERSIDE IP, LLC v. SKY ALLIANCE GROUP, INC., ET AL.
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF IOWA (CENTRAL DIVISION)
3:11-CV-03065-MWB
FILED: 11/22/2011

This is another one of the “high volume” lawsuits brought by the adult industry against many defendants. The embarrassment of being identified as a defendant usually generates a settlement payment of a couple of thousand dollars per defendant.

The Plaintiff is the owner of the copyrights for adult videos. The Defendants have allegedly misappropriated the adult videos for sale to the members of their website.

Plaintiff alleges copyright infringement and false designation. Plaintiff requests Defendant to be enjoined from engaging in any further unauthorized infringement, to account for and pay for damages, attorneys’ fees, statutory damages and any other just relief. Traverse Internet Law Cross Reference Number 1537.
