Federal Copyright Infringement Litigation in the Digital Environment

Sherinian Law represented the plaintiff in a federal copyright infringement lawsuit arising from the unauthorized online reproduction and alteration of a protected photographic work.

The matter involved the commercial publication of a copyrighted image on an internet-based platform without authorization from the copyright holder. The defendant allegedly removed or altered identifying watermark information prior to reposting the image.

This case required enforcement of rights under the United States Copyright Act and analysis of federal remedies available for online content infringement.
