Dolores Press v Anthony Todd: Judgment is entered
As mentioned here before, Scott requested the court to enter Anthony Todd’s default judgment. According to the court, default was entered against Todd on May 16, 2019. The default requested three things: 1) Statutory damages of $150,000.00 per infringed work 2) Attorney’s fees 3) permanent injunction against Todd. Judge Klausner decided not to award the statutory maximum and instead awarded $750.00 per infringed work. Klausner also decided to limit the relief sought to only those works which were already registered within the copyright office of the Library of Congress, at the time the claim was filed. That brought the total number of works infringed down from 408, originally sought by Dolores Press, to 298. That brings the total amount of damages to $223,500.00. Although this is not the amount sought by Dolores Press, it is still quite a bit of money. Furthermore, Todd has been ordered to pay attorneys’ fees totaling $8,070.00. This is a statutory amount.
