SCOTUS Holds No Time Limit for Damages Under Copyright Act

In Warner Chappell Music, Inc. v. Nealy, 601 U.S. ____ (2024), the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Copyright Act entitles a copyright owner to obtain monetary relief for any timely infringement claim, no matter when the infringement occurred. The Court did not address when copyright infringement claims accrue with regard to the statute of limitations.
