WildBill......
Thanks for this information.
I have stated before in these forums that CD+G's and CD's are not covered under the Copyright Laws....just Phonograph records.
Sound Choice and other companies have tried to lump CD+G into this catagory, but the Judge apparently saw through this and ruled correctly.
Your friend apparently did get good legal advice and proceed to court, as Sound Choice and other companies try very hard to get the alledged violator to sign a "Consent Agreement" and the case never goes to Court.
I am curious though, if he went to Federal District Court or did Sound Choice try to proceed in the Local Civil Court.
As Copyright law is Federal Law, Local Civil Courts have NO JURISDICTION OR VENUE for such cases and a Motion to Dismiss should be filed, if they try to sue in Local Civil Courts, prior to an Answer to the Complaint, based on Jurisdictiona and Venue.
If seizure occurrs, one should immediately file in Local Civil Court a "REPLEVIN" and "DETINUE" Action against the Plaintiff for Immediate return of their Property, the Local Court has Jurisdiction and Venue in this matter.
