Tenenbaum and Nesson ordered to pay labels' fees over discovery dispute; court finds 'no extenuating circumstances'
Plaintiffs request that the Court order the defense to pay the reasonable expenses they incurred in filing a motion to compel (document #842) that the Court granted on June 16, 2009. As indicated in this Court's June 16, 2009, order, plaintiffs' request for information relating to the defense's unauthorized distribution of the very copyrighted works on which plaintiffs' claims were based was clearly relevant to such issues as the willfulness of the defendant's conduct and the amount of damages to be awarded by the jury. It's still unclear how much of the jury's award of $675,000 in statutory damages Joel Tenenbaum will have to pay for his admitted copyright infringement.
