What's different a year after the wildfires? | SaltWire #novascotia #firefighting #wildfires #newsWASHINGTON -The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday ruled in favor of a Miami music producer in a legal fight with Warner Music over a song by rapper Flo Rida, finding that there is no time limit for recovering monetary damages in copyright cases that have been filed before the expiration of a statue of limitations.

Nealy sued music publishing company Warner Chappell and others, arguing that they took an invalid license to"Jam the Box" from Butler, his former business partner, while Nealy was incarcerated for cocaine distribution. The producer requested damages for alleged copyright infringement dating back to 2008.

During Supreme Court arguments in February, some of the justices indicated they could not decide the case before reconsidering the issue of statute of limitations in a separate dispute before them. The justices are currently deliberating whether to take up the"discovery rule" in a copyright dispute between Hearst Newspapers and photographer Antonio Martinelli.
