SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 16 – Victoria Mancha let
Scripps Media use her video of
waves hitting a hotel on
Sanibel Island, Florida - but
sued when they put it on their
website(s).
On November
16, U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge John G. Koeltl held
an oral argument. Inner City
Press covered it.
Judge
Koeltl asked questions and
concluded that the only
question was the scope of the
license Mancha had given.
He decided
in an oral order to dismiss
the complaint without
prejudice to it being refiled
as an amended complaint.
He also denied
Scripps' request for attorneys
fees, saying award in this
case - involving Richard
Liebowitz, a repeat player -
would not further the goals of
the copyright statute.
The case is
Mancha v. Scripps Media, Inc.,
19-cv-9179 (Koeltl)
