District Court, S.D. New York May 4, 2000, 00 Civ. 472(JSR) (UMG Recordings, Inc. v. MP3. Com, Inc.)

OPINION

RAKOFF, District Judge.

The complex marvels of cyberspatial communication may create difficult legal issues; but not in this case. Defendant’s infringement of plaintiffs’ copyrights is clear. Accordingly, on April 28, 2000, the Court granted defendant’s motion for partial summary judgment holding defendant liable for copyright infringement. This opinion will state the reasons why.
