If it involves using music on social networks; Times dispute norm that allows processes for violations years after publication
Eight NBA teams requested on Monday (17.FEV.2025) to the Supreme Court of the United States “Discovery Rule” in copyright legislation. Legal action comes in response to the processes faced by teams for the use of licensed music in social networks.
The teams argue in favor of “Injury Rule”
The request of NBA teams supports Radesign Inc., processed by Michael Grecco Productions for copyright infringement. O caso central envolve uma foto da modelo Amber Rose, que desencadeou o processo após mais de 4 anos da suposta infração, ultrapassando o prazo de 3 anos estabelecido pela Lei de Direitos Autorais.
As equipes, incluindo Indiana Pacers e Denver Nuggets, sustentam que a regra de descoberta carece de base estatutária na Lei de Direitos Autorais. They argue that this rule has been explored by “Copyright Trolls”abusing the legislation and encouraging complainants to claim ignorance to extend the action period.
