Copyright Lawsuit Results in $19 Mln Damages Judgment

As a follow-up to my August 14 posting, Publisher Sues Financial Services Firm for Copyright Violation, this news from Reuters, Legg Mason told to pay $20 mln in copyright suit.

“Lowry’s, which is based in North Palm Beach, Florida, said it brought the lawsuit because Legg Mason permitted wide distribution (via the company’s intranet) of its Lowry’s Market Trend Analysis newsletter, even though payment was made for only a single copy.” (Lowry’s Reports v. Legg Mason)

BeSpacific: “No one better has her finger on the pulse of the legal information world than Sabrina Pacifici, law librarian and author of the blog BeSpacific,” writes blogger Robert Ambrogi. “Launched in 2002, BeSpacific is one of the longest-running legal blogs and, remarkably, Sabrina seems more prolific today than ever. She posts multiple items every day, covering the gamut of law, technology and knowledge discovery and topics ranging from cybersecurity to legal research to government regulation to civil liberties to IP and more. For me, BeSpacific is one of my daily must-reads and has been for 14 years straight.”
