AXIS Media and Entertainment - Claims examples
Copyright infringement
1.
A radio station is sued for uploading older news broadcasts that contained copyrighted music on YouTube. The music was only to be used over the air. A list of over 50 infringing compositions were at issue over a period of 7 years.
2.
A broadcaster posts content on its website relating to various concerts occurring in local venues. A story runs regarding an upcoming content, and an intern at the station finds a photo of the performing artist on-line and posts it in conjunction with the story. The intern fails both to note that the photo is copyrighted, and thus to secure a license. The photographer files suit against the broadcaster for copyright infringement.
