After a while, the legal machinations gets old.  Quick.  So, when a media company gets sued for copyright infringement, that&#8217;s news.  Or is it? While browsing through <a href=\"http:\/\/news.justia.com\/cases\/20070525204692\/\">Pravda Studios, LLC v. Corbis Corporation et al.<\/a>, I came across a lot of the standard boilerplate:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This action is brought in response to a classic case of copyright infringement, specifically the unauthorized copying and commercial, for-profit use, copying, display and distribution of Plaintiff&#8217;s live action, motion picture, film footage entitled PRAVDA B-STOCK: SPAIN.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is a serious accusation.  So, I had to find out what exactly Corbis had done to engage in a <strong>classic case<\/strong> of copyright infringement.  To me, a classic case would involve Corbis ripping the video off someone else&#8217;s website and using it in their own marketing material.  That&#8217;s classic.  Instead, what really occurred was that Pravda allegedly submitted their video to Corbis, and Corbis allegedly lost it.  Huh?  That doesn&#8217;t sound like a classic case of copyright infringement to me.<object width=\"450\" height=\"500\"><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"SameDomain\"><\/param><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/docs.justia.com\/dcfdoc.swf?s=new-york&amp;c=nysdce&amp;cn=1:2007cv07854&amp;cid=312572&amp;dn=1&amp;aid=0&amp;page=1\"><\/param><param name=\"scale\" value=\"noScale\"><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the RIAA sues some teenager for sharing music on Kazaa, it&#8217;s no longer news.
