Court orders MP3.com to pay $300,000 to TVT

Written by Petteri Pyyny @ 08 Apr 2001 11:58

In Friday, a New York -based jury ordered MP3.com to pay damages of $300,000 to independent record label TVT Records.

TVT filed its lawsuit against MP3.com about a year ago claiming that MP3.com's My.MP3.com service violated its copyrights. In similiar case, MP3.com was forced to pay $133 million in damages to end its legal problems with five major record labels.

TVT is obviously angry because of court's order and is going to appeal -- they were seeking for $8.5 million.
