Nielsen Audio Settles Infringement Suit Against LM
RADIO ONLINE | Thursday, April 17, 2014 |
The suit filed by Arbitron in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky last August accusing LM Communications of copyright infringement has been settled. The ratings firm alleged that LM violated Arbitron's copyrights when LM's local group in Charleston, SC, "illicitly obtained" copies of Arbitron reports, databases, and estimates. LM also owns stations in Kentucky, West Virginia and South Carolina.
U.S. District Judge Karen K. Caldwell dismissed the suit on Wednesday with prejudice. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed, but a stipulation noted that the dismissal was "without any cost by any party against the other."
Arbitron had claimed that the alleged activity occurred from 2009-2013 at LM's cluster of stations in Charleston, SC.
