Anyone who assumes they can get away with infringing on the creative works of others by taking their content and using it until they receive a cease and desist letter is in for a rude awakening. While cease and desist letters are a nice way of saying, stop using our client’s creative work and we won’t sue you, such niceties are not required. If the damages from the infringement are considerable as they often are, a defendant may never receive such a warning.
The first notice many defendants receive is a knock in the night by a process server serving them with a million dollar plus lawsuit filed in a federal court in a jurisdiction they never heard of forcing them to hire expensive attorneys or immediately settle out of court.
Copyright infringement doesn’t just pertain to the written word. It can be music, video, images, graphics, data, HTML code, and a host of other creative types of works. Musicians who think they can sample the works of others in their own music are, for the most part, operating under a mistaken assumption.
There are few defenses to a copyright infringement lawsuit. When the words taken are word for word from a published and copyrighted book, website or advertising material, courts have little sympathy for the person who claims he or she didn’t know they borrowed the text from the original author of those words.
Copyright infringers are commonly required to pay not only damages for copyright infringement which can be from $750 per infringement to $150,000 per infringement, but also attorney’s fees and court costs which can be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
