FACTUAL BACKGROUND

19.

Plaintiff is a limited liability company whose primary business is composing, creating,

marketing and supplying music and audio compositions for commercial use, including, but
not limited to background music for television, radio and internet advertisements.
20.

Cambria is a corporation that manufactures construction and building materials.

21.

Upon information and belief, Cambria hired Space 150 for the purpose of creating and
designing and advertising and marketing campaign for Cambria's products.

22.

In connection with Spacel50's efforts to promote Cambria's products, Spacel50 produced


various video promotion segments for Cambria, which were designed for use as internet
based advertising.

23.

In or about November, 2013, a representative of Spacel50, namely Melissa Murphy,

contacted The Diner in order to obtain a license to reproduce and utilize a music composition

owned and created as a work for hire by Demian Sims and Shenandi for Plaintiff(hereinafter
referred to as the "Copyrighted Work").

24.

The Copyrighted Work was created by employees of Plaintiffas a work for hire and all rights
to such composition were duly transferred to The Diner as a "work made for hire" as such
term is defined under the Copyright Act.

25.

The Copyrighted Work was duly registered as a "Sound Recording" as part of a collection
of copyrightable sound recordings owned by Plaintiff, collectively referred to by Plaintiff as
"Diner 2.5" which were duly registered with the United States Copyright office on June 202,

2012 and assigned registration No. SR 708-795. A copy of said registration certificate is
annexed hereto as Exhibit "A".

26.

Spacel 50 and The Diner did attempt to negotiate terms for Cambria's use ofthe Copyrighted
Work, however the partes did not reach any final license agreement. As a result no agreement
was made between the parties under which The Diner authorized Corporate Defendants to

display, transmit and/or otherwise use the Copyrighted Work in any manner.
27.

On or about January 17,2014, The Diner located unauthorized use ofthe Copyrighted Work

by Cambria in the form of background music which plays throughout four (4) separate

promotional videos ("the Cambria Videos") that had been designed, created and/or produced
by Spacel50 and/or Cambria. The Cambria Videos were uploaded to the Internet website
commonly known as Youtube.com, and were discovered by The Diner at following internet
addresses on or about December 9, 2013:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=:KiLJ3CcgrFY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBq-1 dPq_x4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjDFFkR24Aw3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUUvLp6axE
28.

On or about January 17, 2014, The Diner contacted Spacel50 and advised Spacel50 that it
had located the Cambria Videos on the Internet which contained the unauthorized use ofthe

Copyrighted Work owned by The Diner.


29.

Spacel50 replied to the Diner's communication via emails, dated January 17, 2014 and
February 5, 2014, which acknowledged and admitted that the Copyrighted Work had been

used without permission in connection with the Cambria Videos. Space150's further admitted

that the Cambria Videos had been posted by Cambria on the Internet without The Diner's
permission. Copies of the aforesaid emails are annexed hereto as Exhibit "B".

30.

Thereafter, Spacel50 and Cambria again attempted to negotiate a license fee for their

unauthorized use of the Copyrighted Work, but no final agreement relating to the of the
Copyrights Work was executed by the parties at any time.
31.

The Diner later discovered that the infringing videos were removed from Youtube on or
about January 31, 2014. The Diner is unaware of any other active links to other Internet

websites that Cambria may have posted the promotional videos, but upon information and
belief, Cambria and/or Space150 may have distributed and/or uploaded the Cambria Videos
to other recipients and/or locations, including but not limited to distribution on the Internet
and/or Cambria may have or may continue to use the Cambria Videos in other formats. The

full

scope of Defendant's infringing activities

in this regard has not yet been fully

ascertained.

32.

In all cases, the Copyrighted Work was never licensed to Cambria and/or Space 150, and The

Diner retains full ownership of the copyright to the Copyrighted Work.


33.

Corporate Defendants' infringing use of the Copyrighted Work was therefore willful and
intentional.

34.

Corporate Defendants use of the Copyrights Work was with full knowledge of Plaintiff s
copyright ownership, without authorization, and only by improperly obtaining an
unauthorized copy of the Copyrighted Work from The Diner's website in violation of the

explicit terms of The Diner's website's terms of use as well as The Diner's exclusive
copyright to same.

35.

Corporate Defendants were, at all relevant times herein, fully aware that The Diner was the
copyright owner of the Copyrighted Work, and as a result of Corporate Defendants

intentional infringement of Plaintiffs Copyrighted Work, the Corporate Defendants are


jointly and severally liable for treble damages under the Copyright Act.
36.

Defendants were, at all relevant times herein, fully aware that The Diner was the copyright
owner of the Copyrighted Work, and as a result, Defendants officers and directors are also

personally liable for any and all damages due The Diner arising from intentional copyright
infringement. Accordingly Defendants Mark Davis, Martin Davis, William Jurewicz and

David Denham are identified as Defendants in this action due to their relationship to their
respective companies. Upon information and belief other individuals may also be liablefor
all damages, however, Plaintiff is unaware of the identities of such individuals at this time,
and Plaintiff hereby reserves the right to amend this Complaint in order to add additional

Defendants to this action after commencement of discovery.


37.

All Defendants have therefore intentionally infringed upon and exploited The Diner's

copyrighted composition(s) without permission. As a result all Defendants are jointly and
severally liableto Plaintiffforall damages assessed in this actionas allowedunderapplicable
law.

Hi Sallie -

No surprise, this has come back to us to deal with despite it not being our project. We want to apologize for our
client - they are very ignorant when it comes to the production process. They are doing a lot of video work this
year and we've been educating them on the Do's and Don'ts of production (including licensing). I worked in
Music Publishing for a long time - so I know what a hassle this is to deal with on your end.
We realize that regardless of what they decide to do for licensing - they will need to pay at least a 1 year,
YouTube Only license fee + any kind of fee for infringement for the videos that were posted without a license
in place. According to your site (https://www.thedinermusic.com/ff 'rates) a 1 Year, Youtube only would be Ik
per video ~ so $4,000 total. We are aware there is also an infringement fee on top of this but are hoping we can
get it down from the $20,000 originally quoted. We'd really like to keep using you guys for music as we're

doing more and more production with this client (including original music) and your music seems to be a good
fit for what they typically look for.
So a couple question for you :

1. Can weget an extension until Monday? Here iswhy :wewould like to do the CORRECT license for
these videos - however, we dont know the usage andwont until Monday when the Creative Director

gets back from Mexico. We're thinking itwill beAll Internet and In-store (same as the History Video)
but would like to confirm that before we move ahead. We are also recommending licensing the track for

the "History Video" we originally had you send a quote for.


2. If we can'thave an extension to Monday - can werenegotiate a dealwith you guys including some kind

ofinfringement fee that isn't quite sohigh? Knowing thatthe license we would need to be issued for
these videos given the infringement was 1 Year, Youtube Only - canwe get any closer to the $4000 $7000 range?

Thanks so much, Sallie. We really appreciate it and apologize profusely for our ignorant clients.

Hi Sallie-

Thanks for the note. We didn't produce these videos for Cambna, but we did provide/recommendthis music for
the "History" video that we requested a quote for earlier this week.
We have reached out to our client and provided them the information below. We apologize for the mix-up.
We'll make sure this gets resolved ASAP.
