Synthèse Legislator

Généré par l'IA

The case involved a challenge to the application of a statutory damage provision concerning alleged copyright infringement, where the plaintiff sought statutory damages for multiple infringing copies, and the court had to determine the applicable measure for calculating those damages. The court reasoned that the relevant statute defines a "work" for the purposes of statutory damages as an "individual title or edition," and concluded that the evidence supported a finding that each independently created infringing copy constituted a separate "work" for the purpose of the calculation, thereby affirming the judgment that awarded statutory damages based on the number of infringing copies rather than the number of titles involved.
