Supreme Court Opens Doors to Massive Copyright Infringement Damages In Case Against Warner Music

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of allowing extensive recovery of damages for copyright infringement, significantly impacting the music industry. The decision allows Sherman Nealy to seek damages for over a decade of unlicensed use of his song by Flo Rida, potentially setting a precedent for larger payouts in similar cases. This ruling could discourage copyright owners from promptly addressing infringements, altering the dynamics of copyright litigation and liability.
