May 1, 2013110Court Opinion or Order ORDER: Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the parties are referred to the Southern District's Mediation Program for a conference to be held no later than May 31, 2013.

March 30, 2013109Court Opinion or Order MEMORANDUM AND ORDER granting 48 Motion for Partial Summary Judgment; denying 54 Motion for Summary Judgment. At base, ReDigi seeks judicial amendment of the Copyright Act to reach its desired policy outcome. However, "[s]ound policy, as well as history, supports [the Court's] consistent deference to Congress when major technological innovations alter the market for copyrighted materials. Congress has the constitutional authority and the institutional ability to accommodate fully the varied permutations of competing interests that are inevitably implicated by such new technology. Sony, 464 U.S. at 431. Such deference often counsels for a limited interpretation of copyright protection. However, here, the Court cannot of its own accord condone the wholesale application of the first sale defense to the digital sphere, particularly when Congress its If has declined to take that step. Accordingly, and for the reasons stated above, the Court GRANTS Capitol's motion for summary judgment on its claims for ReDigi's direct, contributory, and vicarious infringement of its reproduction rights. The Court also DENIES ReDigi's motion in its entirety. Because issues remain with respect to Capitols performance and display rights and ReDigi's secondary infringement of Capitols common law copyrights, as well as damages, injunctive relief, and attorneys fees. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the parties shall submit a joint letter to the court no later than April 12, 2013 concerning the next contemplated steps in this case. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the motions pending at Doc. Nos. 48 and 54.(Signed by Judge Richard J. Sullivan on 3/30/2013) (ago) Modified on 4/1/2013 (ago).

The Court will conduct oral argument on Friday, August 17, 2012 at 9:30 a.m. Parties have conferred and their present best estimate of the length of trial is three (3) days. (Signed by Judge Richard J. Sullivan on 2/14/2012) (mro)
February 15, 201230Court Opinion or Order ORDER: The Court is in receipt of letters from both Plaintiff and Defendant, each dated February 14, 2012, regarding the parties' proposed Case Management Plan. In its letter, Defendant suggests "establish[ing] a firm, publicly known, deadline for the filing of amicus curiae motions [in connection with the parties' summary judgment motions]" and "dispens[ing] with pre-motion conferences for those motions." Plaintiff opposes Defendant's requests. Because Defendant has not demonstrated any facts to overcome the Court's conclusion, as stated in an Order dated February 1, 2012, that the parties are fully capable of raising issues that third parties would raise in amicus curiae briefs and have every incentive to do so, Defendant's requests ARE HEREBY DENIED. The parties' proposed Case Management Plan, as modified by the Court, is set forth in a separate Order. (Signed by Judge Richard J. Sullivan on 2/14/2012) (mro)
February 14, 201229Court Opinion or Order ORDER: The Court is in receipt of a letter from Defendant dated February 11, 2012, informing the Court that Rdio, Inc., has terminated Defendant's access to its site and requesting a pre-motion conference in connection with Defendant's contemplated motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction "towards reinstatement of the Rdio licenses, and for leave to amend the answer to include counterclaim(s)." Defendant's letter-which is barely four sentences long-offers no legal theory or authority whatsoever as a basis for this Court to enjoin a third party from terminating its contractual relationship with Defendant. Accordingly, absent a further submission setting forth the legal bases for its contemplated motion, Defendant's request for a pre-motion conference is HEREBY DENIED. (Signed by Judge Richard J. Sullivan on 2/13/2012) (mro)

February 6, 201225Court Opinion or Order ORDER. Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction is HEREBY DENIED.

February 1, 201224Court Opinion or Order ORDER. The Court is in receipt of a letter from counsel for non-party Google Inc. dated February 1, 2012, which seeks leave to file an amicus curiae brief "in order to highlight the importance of the copyright law questions Plaintiff's pending preliminary injunction motion raises." Because the Court believes that the parties are fully capable of raising these issues themselves- and have every incentive to do just that Google Inc.'s request is HEREBY DENIED. (Signed by Judge Richard J. Sullivan on 2/1/2012) (rjm)
