Defendant's Attorney: Craig S Tarasoff

Description: New York, New York intellectual property lawyers represented the Plaintiff who sued the Defendant on a copyrights infringement law.

"Copyright infringement law is a body of law that protects the original works of authors, including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, as well as motion pictures, sound recordings, and architectural works. Copyright infringement occurs when a copyrighted work is reproduced, distributed, performed, displayed, or made into a derivative work without the permission of the copyright holder.

Copyright infringement can be either intentional or unintentional. Intentional copyright infringement occurs when someone knowingly copies or uses a copyrighted work without permission. Unintentional copyright infringement can occur when someone is unaware that a work is copyrighted or when they accidentally copy or use a copyrighted work.

There are a number of defenses to copyright infringement, including:

Fair use: Fair use is a doctrine that allows the limited use of copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research.
First sale doctrine: The first sale doctrine allows the owner of a lawfully made copy of a copyrighted work to sell or otherwise transfer ownership of that copy without the permission of the copyright holder.
Statutory licenses: Statutory licenses are licenses that are granted by law to allow certain uses of copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. For example, there is a statutory license that allows broadcasters to play copyrighted music on the radio.

If you believe that your copyright has been infringed, you can send a cease-and-desist letter to the infringer, file a complaint with the U.S. Copyright Office, or file a lawsuit in federal court.

Remedies for copyright infringement

If you are successful in proving copyright infringement, you may be entitled to a number of remedies, including:

Injunctive relief: Injunctive relief is a court order that prohibits the infringer from continuing to infringe your copyright.
Monetary damages: Monetary damages can include both actual damages, which are the actual losses that you have suffered as a result of the infringement, and statutory damages, which are damages that are set by law and do not require proof of actual losses.
Attorney's fees and costs: You may also be entitled to recover your attorney's fees and costs if you are successful in your copyright infringement lawsuit.

If you believe that your copyright has been infringed, you should contact an attorney to discuss your legal options. An attorney can help you determine whether you have a valid claim and can represent you in court if necessary."
