News and entertainment website BuzzFeed, Inc., known for its
quizzes and listicles, was hit with a copyright infringement
lawsuit last week in California district court.
Photographer Jennifer Rondinelli Reilly sued BuzzFeed and five
unidentified (or "Doe") defendants for allegedly
displaying, reproducing, distributing, and creating derivative
works of her copyrighted photograph of guitarist Carlos Santana,
taken during his Universal Tone Tour appearance in Milwaukee.
According to Reilly's complaint, BuzzFeed displayed and published
the copyrighted photo after one of its users uploaded it to
BuzzFeed's server. Reilly sent a Digital Millennium Copyright
Act takedown notice, and while BuzzFeed responded, it failed to
remove the image and prevent other users from accessing it.
Reilly is seeking an injunction, damages, BuzzFeed's profits
from the infringement, and attorney's fees.
