District of Columbia Court Says JVC Copyright Case Against The Daily Caller May Proceed
August 2024 - Kevin Vick, Jean-Paul Jassy, and Jordyn Ostroff defeated a motion to dismiss a complaint they filed on behalf of Real World Media LLC, alleging claims under the Copyright Act and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act against The Daily Caller in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The complaint alleges that The Daily Caller, a media company co-founded by Tucker Carlson, infringed Real World Media's copyrights when it copied large portions of videos Real World Media produced concerning newsworthy law enforcement events and posted them to The Daily Caller's YouTube and Facebook pages. The United States District Court for the District of Columbia denied The Daily Caller's motion to dismiss in full. JVC also defeated The Daily Caller's motion to refer Real World Media's copyright registrations to the Register of Copyrights for a determination of whether the registrations are valid, concluding that The Daily Caller failed to establish that Real World Media's copyright registrations contained any knowing errors.
