Dash v. Mayweather
Petition for certiorari denied on March 31, 2014
Issue: (1) Whether a plaintiff in a copyright case must
show that the inclusion of his protected work
in a larger work “enhanced” or increased the
profits of the infringer, in order to be entitled
to profit damages, when the statutory
language requires “only” evidence of the
infringer’s “gross profits”; and (2) whether the evidence necessary to prove the
value of a work under the Copyright Act has
been misconstrued so as to prohibit new
artists from ever being able to demonstrate
the value of their work for the purpose of
being awarded actual damages.
