Copyright infringement
“Final chord” in the music trial has been struck
Mostviertler (46) stood trial for copyright infringement in St. Pölten: The man was acquitted of the charge!
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Since the beginning of December, a 46-year-old man has had to answer to the St. Pölten Provincial Court for violating copyright law. Despite a ban on performing music, the man is said to have acted as the organizer of theme parties in St. Pölten in February and June. And played music without permission. This promptly earned him a private lawsuit from the AKM (Society for Authors, Composers and Music Publishers).
Judgment not yet final
"Yes, the events did take place. But I was not responsible for them," he pleaded not guilty at the beginning of the trial. There was also no evidence in the trial for the accusation of having put forward "straw men" as organizers. The 46-year-old has now been acquitted of suspicion of playing music at events without permission - not legally binding.
