JUDGMENT AND PERMANENT 

INJUNCTION BASED ON STIPULATION 

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 $4080.00.

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

fee) in the amount of $420.00. 

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.

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.
