Michael J. Rossi, Dba Internet movies.com v. Motion Picture Association of America Inc.
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Decided December 1, 2004No. 03-16034PublishedCited by 55 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
RAWLINSON, Circuit Judge: istrate judge.
We agree that no material issue of fact was raised regarding the Motion Picture Association of America’s (MPAA) “good faith belief’ that Rossi was infringing upon copyrighted materials. Because the MPAA’s actions, compliant with the notice and takedown provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, constitute “justification,” were privileged and were not unreasonable, we affirm the district court’s summary judgment in favor of the MPAA.
