Copyright Infringement of Playboy Images Covered

Playboy Enterprises Inc. v. Freena, 839 F. Supp. 1552 (M.D. Fla. (Jacksonville Division) 1993) (Court found the unauthorized use of Playboy photographs infringed upon its copyright as the magazine's trademark was used to identify bulletin board files, constituting trademark infringement, whereas deleting magazine trademark and photographs and inserting advertisements was unfair competition. A related insurance coverage action found the conduct fell within the scope of the duty to defend for BBS Systems and Consulting where we represented Playboy as the claimant seeking to establish its entitlement to damage under the BBS insurance policy.).
