Falcon Fotos Claim against Porn Kings Dismissed

gonzo · 03-07-2007

SEATTLE — U.S. District Judge Robert S. Lasnik has granted a motion to dismiss Falcon Foto’s state claims against Porn Kings.

Judge Lasnik ruled that Falcon’s state law claims of unjust enrichment, tortuous interference, unfair competition, accounting and constructive trust were preempted by the federal Copyright Act. The suit’s copyright claims will still move forward.
The multimillion-dollar lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle, alleges that the owners of Porn Kings, dba for Lucas Bradfield’s Nobel Developments, infringed on Falcon Foto’s rights by using Falcon images on websites and free hosted galleries without a license.
