                          and No:  11-2858
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Murphy and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Copyright. In this action alleging defendant violated plaintiffs' copyrights in recorded music by engaging in file-sharing on the Internet, when the district entered judgment after the verdict in the third trial, the court should have enjoined defendant from making copyrighted works available to the public, whether or not that conduct by itself violates rights under the Copyright Act; the statutory damages of at least $220,000 were constitutional, and the district court erred in holding the Due Process Clause allowed statutory damages of only $54,000; judgment vacated and the case remanded with directions to enter a judgment that includes those remedies.
