Peloton's countersuit against 15 music publishers claiming copyright infringement against the company has been dismissed by a federal judge
Peloton's countersuit against 14 music publishers claiming copyright infringement against the at-home exercise company has been dismissed by a federal judge.
“Peloton does not explain why it cannot substitute songs with sync licenses owned by the Music Publishers for songs with sync licenses owned by other publishers,” Cote writes. “Indeed, as Peloton admits, it has successfully ‘collaborated with music publishers to develop an innovative [sync] licensing framework that is appropriate for its business and reached agreements with all the ‘major’ music publishers and many independent music publishers.
Finally, the judge denied Peloton’s prior request to amend its “relevant market” definition -- in the event the current definition was found to be legally deficient -- to encompass only the publishers at issue.
