Copyright infringement claim partially dismissed; court awarded damages for exploitation but rejected information requests against non-publisher.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court dismissed the plaintiff's request for information regarding newspaper sales and distribution methods because the defendant was not the publisher. While the claim for damages related to the exploitation of musical works from 2001 to 2008 was partially upheld, the court rejected the remaining requests for data on retail prices and alternative distribution channels. The judgment applied the principle of proportional allocation of costs, awarding the plaintiff a small portion of the claimed damages while ordering the defendant to bear the majority of litigation expenses.
