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.
