UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
This is an action by Erik Andersen, an individual, and Rob Landley, an individual, (“Plain- tiffs”) by and through their attorneys, the Software Freedom Law Center, Inc., to recover damages arising from infringement of their copyrights by Monsoon Multimedia, Inc., (“Defendant”) and to enjoin Defendant’s future infringement. Specifically, Defendant distributed and continues to dis- tribute Plaintiffs’ copyrighted BusyBox software without Plaintiffs’ permission and despite the fact that Plaintiffs notified Defendant of its unlawful activity. Since Defendant has infringed Plaintiffs’ copyrights, and since that infringement is ongoing, Plaintiffs seek damages and injunctive relief.
