SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 10 – Tony Martino formed
music group "The Martino
Conspiracy" and issued an
album, "Hope in Isolation."
Then he sued for copyright
infringement.
On December 10,
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Gregory H. Woods held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Marino initially
filed his lawsuit in Illinois.
It was removed to the SDNY. He
says his albums was played on
Last.fm and Live365, and
Gaana.com - all without
license. He has sued SONY's
Orchard
Enterprises.
The defendants
say Martino "does not need 183
paragraphs and 63 pages to
assert his claims for
copyright infringement and
conversation.
They says they
only sold six copies of the
album and 11 individual
tracks, "these purchases were
solely by Plaintiff and
Plaintiff's father seemingly
in an attempt to create the
grounds for the immediate
infringement action."
The case is
Martino vs The Orchard
Enterprises Inc, et al.,
20-cv-9062 (Woods)
