Both Defendants served a subpoena duces tecum on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, seeking public and private content from user accounts of the murder victim and a witness to the alleged crimes. As to Facebook, the subpoena stated “[a]ny and all public and private content,” including, but “not limited to user information, associated email addresses, photographs, videos, private messages, activity logs, posts, status updates, location data, and comments including information deleted by the account holder” for accounts belonging to the murder victim, Jaquan Rice and to the only witness Renasha Lee.

The case, Beastie Boys et al v. Monster Energy Co, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 12-06065 addressed the circumstances under which a corporate defendant can be held liable for acts of willful copyright infringement committed by its employees within the scope of their employment or for its benefit. In a Dec. 4 decision, U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer refused to throw out Beastie Boys’ $1.7 million jury verdict against Monster Beverage Corp over the energy drink company’s use of the hip-hop group’s music in a promotional video without permission.

Trade secret theft is illegal and commonplace. A 2010 report found the number of trade theft cases in federal court doubled between 1988 and 1998, and doubled again between 1995 and 2004.A 2013 report issued by the Center for Responsible Enterprise and Trade (CREATe.org) contains numerous tales of trade secret thievery and provides practical guidance on securing supply chains and mitigating risks associated with trade secret theft. Read the report in full here, or consider our summary of the five practical tips its authors provide:

The California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, recently gave much needed attention to the surge in class action lawsuits brought under California statutes that prohibit the unauthorized recording of telephone conversations. In the Feb. 21 opinion in Hataishi v. First American Home Buyers Protection Corp., the court affirmed the trial court’s refusal to certify a putative class, concluding that whether a particular recorded communication is “confidential” requires an individualized inquiry.

In recent weeks, 13 U.S. businesses have agreed to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that they falsely claimed compliance with the international privacy framework known as the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor.  These enforcement actions — another telling example of increasing FTC scrutiny of the privacy and security practices of all businesses — were filed against the 13 companies under Section 5 of the FTC Act.

The Southern District of California awarded $12.4 million in fees on Feb. 1, to be paid by Gabriel Technologies Inc. for bringing objectively baseless claims of trade secret misappropriation against San Diego-based Qualcomm Inc. The decision in Gabriel Technologies Inc., et al. v. Qualcomm Inc., et al. evidences a growing trend to apply the statutory penalties of California’s Uniform Trade Secrets Act against infirm claims.

In the Digital Age, litigators need a working knowledge of how electronically stored information (ESI) is generated and maintained. Fortunately, no prior background in information technology or computer science is required to ably advise a client on e-discovery issues. Indeed, the best practice is to seek help from third-party vendors, consultants, and experts. Nevertheless, lawyers are obligated to make informed recommendations to their clients; to competently select and manage the IT personnel and outside vendors through each phase of litigation, counsel must understand and be proficient in the e-discovery process.

The U.S. Supreme Court held on March 19, 2013, that U.S. copyright holders cannot
prevent the importation and resale of their products made elsewhere, effectively
eliminating the use of copyright law to support international market segmentation, and
providing a boon to importers of gray-market goods into the United States. The Court’s
earlier attempt to address the issue – in Costco Wholesale Corp. v. Omega, S.A. – was
equally divided. However, in Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons Inc, U.S. Supreme Court,
No. 11-697, with a 6-3 majority, found that copyright law's ‘first sale’ doctrine applies to
copies of a copyrighted works lawfully obtained, regardless of whether the copy was
manufactured in the United States or abroad.

Forty-one years after the invention of electronic mail - and nearly 20 years after it became a part of everyone's life - problems persist due to the relative ease with which email can be irretrievably destroyed. This year's high-stakes patent dispute between tech giants Apple and Samsung illustrates the need for extra care in implementing a litigation hold policy at the earliest stages of a case to halt the destruction of email. But a recent decision in the Second Circuit sends a subtler message: The absence of a written litigation hold notice is not negligence per se but rather only one factor to consider in awarding sanctions for the spoliation of evidence.
