U.S. District Court Judge Emilio Garza of San Antonio, Texas, has ordered Musiofertas Cassettes' owners Julio Alvarez and Hugo A. Martinez to pay $458,200 to CBS Records and BMG Music for Musiofertas' involvement in the sale of unauthorized parallel imports of their Spanish-language recordings. According to the RIAA, this judgment, which includes damages and attomies' fees, represents the maximum amount of LOS ANGELES LATIN LPs statutory damages permitted in this particular case under U.S. Copyright Law. February 2, 1961 The square bullet indicates strong upward chart movement The lawsuit was filed on Aug. 17, 1989, after the defendants failed to respond to a warning letter sent by the labels' counsel notifying them that they were infringing the plaintiffs' copyright. In addition to the damage award, the 1 MEXICO, VOZYSENTIMIENTO (Sony) VARIOUS ARTISTS defendants were also permanently enjoined from importing, selling and dis- tributing cassettes legally manufactured outside of the United States without 2 VEINTEANOS (WEA Latina) LUIS MIGUEL the plaintiffs' authorization. 3 CUANDO YO AMO (Sonotone) RUDYLASCALA "This is an important victory for the legitimate recording industry and 4 LO NUEVO Y LO MEJOR (TH/Rodven) LOS TEMERARIOS demonstrates the RIAA's resolve to work hard for Hispanic labels, which 5 TU AMIGO (Fonovisa) BRONCO continue to be disproportionately hurt by the problem of unauthorized parallel 6 BANDIDO (Sony Discos) AZUCAR MORENO importation," said Steve J.

How truly big Source: Gato Associates Research is this importation business? And, more importantly, how seriously is the industry attempting to thwart the problem? Obviously, the RIAA's anti-piracy efforts aren't enough.
