Key West Association awarded $2.7M in copyright case.
Key West Association Wins Federal Copyright Case
“A federal district court in Florida has awarded $2.7 million to the Key West Association of REALTORS® Inc. in its copyright infringement action against Robert Allen. In finding for the association and imposing such a large award, the court sent a strong message on behalf of copyright owners, said Attorney Steven Robert Kozlowski, who represented KWAR in the case.”
Big win and a great precedent for the Neighborcity case.

Sometimes the copyright suit is easy compared to the collection process. I’m curious to see how far KWAR goes to collect.
