U.S. 1st Circuit Court of Appeals, August 07, 2007
Brown v. Latin Am. Music Co., No. 06-2710
In a declaratory action requesting the declaration that the work of a poet was in the public domain, dismissal of the declaratory defendants’ counterclaim for copyright infringement is affirmed where the district court correctly held that the burden of proof of the existence of a valid copyright is with the infringement claimant, and the defendants did not present any substantive support for their claim of copyright
