STANFORD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Fair Use Project of the Center for Internet & Society at Stanford Law School announced that a New York federal judge has dismissed a copyright infringement lawsuit accusing prominent electronic music artist Brian Transeau (known professionally as “BT”) of illegally copying a nine-second drumbeat from another artist. In a thirteen-page order, Judge William H. Pauley III of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York held that plaintiffs failed to present any credible evidence that BT copied the drumbeat at issue. Accordingly, the court entered judgment in BT’s favor and dismissed the case against him.
