 The Court, having considered the Stipulation to Judgment and Permanent Injunction 

executed by the parties, 

 IT IS ORDERED AND ADJUDGED THAT: 

1. Plaintiffs have alleged that Defendant distributed (including by uploading) and/or 

reproduced (including by downloading) via the Internet or an online media distribution system 

copyrighted sound recordings owned or controlled by the Plaintiffs, without Plaintiffs’ 

authorization, in violation of 17 U.S.C. § 501. Without admitting or denying liability, Defendant 

has not contested plaintiffs' allegations, and has acknowledged that such conduct is wrongful. 

2. Defendant shall pay to Plaintiffs in settlement of this action the total sum of 

$9750.00. 

3. Defendant shall pay Plaintiffs' costs of suit (complaint filing fee and service of 

process fee) in the amount of $250.00. 

4. Defendant shall be and hereby is enjoined from directly or indirectly infringing 

Plaintiffs' rights under federal or state law in any sound recording, whether now in existence or 

later created, that is owned or controlled by Plaintiffs (or any parent, subsidiary, or affiliate 

record label of Plaintiffs) ("Plaintiffs' Recordings"), including without limitation by: 

a) using the Internet or any online media distribution system to reproduce 

(i.e., download) any of Plaintiffs' Recordings, to distribute (i.e., upload) 

any of Plaintiffs' Recordings, or to make any of Plaintiffs' Recordings 

available for distribution to the public, except pursuant to a lawful license 

or with the express authority of Plaintiffs; or 

b) causing, authorizing, permitting, or facilitating any third party to access 

the Internet or any online media distribution system through the use of an 

Internet connection and/or computer equipment owned or controlled by 

Defendant, to reproduce (i.e., download) any of Plaintiffs' Recordings, to 

distribute (i.e., upload) any of Plaintiffs' Recordings, or to make any of 

Plaintiffs' Recordings available for distribution to the public, except 

pursuant to a lawful license or with the express authority of Plaintiffs.

Defendant also shall destroy all copies of Plaintiffs' Recordings that Defendant and/or any third 

party that has used the Internet connection and/or computer equipment owned or controlled by 

Defendant has downloaded without Plaintiffs' authorization onto any computer hard drive or 

server owned or controlled by Defendant, and shall destroy all copies of those downloaded 

recordings transferred onto any physical medium or device in Defendant's possession, custody, 

or control. 

5. Defendant irrevocably and fully waives notice of entry of the Judgment and 

Permanent Injunction, and understands and agrees that violation of the Judgment and Permanent 

Injunction will expose Defendant to all penalties provided by law, including for contempt of 

Court. 

6. Defendant irrevocably and fully waives any and all right to appeal this Judgment 

and Permanent Injunction, to have it vacated or set aside, to seek or obtain a new trial thereon, or 

otherwise to attack in any way, directly or collaterally, its validity or enforceability. 

7. Nothing contained in the Judgment and Permanent Injunction shall limit the right 

of Plaintiffs to recover damages for any and all infringements by Defendant of any right under 

federal copyright law or state law occurring after the date Defendant executes the Stipulation to 

Judgment and Permanent Injunction. 

8. Defendant shall not make any public statements that are inconsistent with any 

term of the Stipulation to Judgment and Permanent Injunction.
