Fair Use Factors Improperly Given Equal Weight in Copyright Infringement Case: Eleventh Circuit | Practical Law
In Cambridge University Press v. Patton, the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, ruling that the district court erroneously gave equal weight to the copyright fair use factors, reversed a district court judgment that individual employees and officers of Georgia State University were liable for copyright infringement and vacated the lower court's grant to the plaintiff publishing houses of declaratory and injunctive relief.
