Series of Copyright Default Judgments Continues in Missouri
The Eastern District of Missouri granted another default judgment for copyright infringement in Arista Records v. Shernet Showers, 2007 WL 735612 (E.D. Mo. 3/8/07). Previous posts on the other default judgments are available here and here.
Like the other cases, Arista brought suit for the defendant's use of an online media distribution system. The defendant never answered or filed a responsive pleading. The court entered default judgment and awarded statutory damages of $7,500.
