September 9, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 86 ORDER AND OPINION DENYING IN PART AND GRANTING IN PART CROSS MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT re: 32 MOTION for Summary Judgment filed by Fox News Network, LLC: I hold that TVEyes' database and provision of television clips and snippets of transcript are transformative and thus constitute fair use, protecting it from claims of copyright infringement. The record must be further developed, however, before I can determine whether or not the features that allow searches by d ate and time, and that allow clips to be archived, downloaded, emailed, and shared via social media are integral services and protected by a fair use defense. Counsel shall meet with me for a status conference to discuss the proceedings necessary t o determine the remaining issues on October 3, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. Counsel shall meet prior to the conference, and submit their respective views in a joint letter submitted by October 1, 2014 at noon.
