Plaintiff Pinnacle Alliance Group, LLC (“Pinnacle”) owns the copyright on architectural plans and designs for a senior housing facility originally planned for Sisters, Oregon. In 2011, after spending upwards of $700,000 studying the site and preparing original layouts, Pinnacle submitted their plans to the City of Sisters for review and approval. The plans were also submitted to Ageia Health Services during negotiations for Ageia to serve as the management company for the future senior center. In 2013, Pinnacle lost its opportunity to develop the site and now they allege that Defendant Ambient Architecture (d/b/a Ascent) obtained the copyrighted blueprints. Exhibit A is some of the Pinnacle plan and Exhibit B is the plan that Ascent prepared for a different developer. Pinnacle is asking for $700,000, to cover the money already spent, as well as all profits that Ascent earned on this project.

Oregon Copyright Litigation Update – Countryman Nevada v. Doe

Countryman Nevada LLC v. Doe

Crowell Law has filed five more copyright infringement lawsuits for BitTorrent downloads. The complaints are essentially the exact same as the Dallas Buyer’s Club suits, except these involve a film called The Necessary Death of Charley Countryman.

Why are people even trying to download this movie? It only received a 29% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacritic gave it a lowly 31. With Dallas Buyer’s Club, at least people are taking risks to see an award winning film, but this flick can’t be worth the hassle. Guessing it has something to do with the film’s original rating of NC-17…

Court Case Number: 3:15-cv-00433, -00435, -00436, -00437, -00438
File Date: Tuesday, March 17, 2015
Plaintiff: Countryman Nevada LLC

Oregon Blocking Access to Public Domain Law via Copyright Litigation

23 Wednesday Sep 2009

Posted by in Copyright, Litigation, Oregon

While all federal documents in the US are under the public domain, state governments don’t always follow that rule, and the state of Oregon has a history of trying to lock up its documents. Last year, there was some attention generated when some people uploaded copies of certain Oregon laws. Yes, it seems positively ridiculous that the state might claim copyright over the laws people are expected to follow. The state claimed that it was just complaining about the fact that the laws were scanned from its own book, with its own notes and page numbers — and that it wouldn’t complain if people had just copied the law. But that’s a weak excuse, and the state backed down later.

However, Oregon is back in the news on a similar issue, as Slashdot points us to the news that a professor is challenging the state’s attorney general to sue him after he scanned and posted a state-produced guide to using public-records laws. You would think, again, that the state would want such a document spread as widely as possible, as it would better help Oregonians understand the law. But the state claims it needs to sell the book for $25 to cover production costs. That doesn’t seem like much of an excuse. The fact that the state needs to produce a guide to understand its own laws seems troubling enough. Then locking them down with a copyright claim just makes it that much worse.
