Air France Restrained From Infringing “Love in the Air”

Thursday, November 5, 2020

In April, we wrote concerning the judgement Boomerang Investments Pty Ltd v Padgett (Legal responsibility) [2020] FCA 535 (Choice), by which Glass Sweet and Air France had been discovered to have infringed the copyright within the well-known 1970s hit track “Love is within the Air” (Love).

Now, within the latest judgement Boomerang Investments Pty Ltd v Padgett (Scope of Injunction) [2020] FCA 1413, the Federal Courtroom of Australia has finalised the injunctive orders needed to offer impact to the Courtroom’s earlier conclusions on the difficulty of legal responsibility within the Choice, amongst different issues.

Injunctive Reduction

Principally, Justice Perram addressed the suitable injunctive reduction towards Air France in relation to its use of the variation of the infringing track “Heat in Winter” (Heat) known as “France is within the Air” (France).

Air France contented that the injunction ought to solely go so far as stopping the act of infringement which it was discovered to have dedicated, being the usage of France as maintain music for callers to its Australian toll-free quantity. Nonetheless, Justice Perram agreed with the candidates {that a} wider injunction to restrain Air France from speaking France to the general public with out the licence of the copyright proprietor was applicable.

This might embody:

permitting France to be performed on Air France’s YouTube channel (or different such channels) if the licensing association with APRA was altered sooner or later such that ‘infringing makes use of’ of Love had been not coated by the APRA licence
additional efforts by Air France to make use of France on providers which don’t maintain an APRA licence, and
the authorisation by Glass Sweet of any such conduct.

Justice Perram dominated {that a} extensive injunction was applicable, as there was danger of Air France repeating the infringing conduct which, absent the licence of the copyright proprietor, should be restrained. This was particularly so attributable to the truth that Air France had declined to undertake to not proceed utilizing France, leaving open the likelihood for Air France getting into right into a recent licence settlement for the usage of France with Glass Sweet and recommencing its advert marketing campaign.

It was determined that the injunction would confer with the ‘copyright proprietor’ relatively than a selected occasion, to account for any future possession adjustments.

Declaration of flagrancy

Justice Perram held that it might be inappropriate to make a declaration relating to the flagrancy of Air France and Glass Sweet’s conduct, since:

the assorted components for assessing extra damages set out in s 115(4)(b) of the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth), which incorporates the flagrancy of the infringement, had been neither needed nor adequate circumstances for the award of extra damages. Reasonably, these components, like all discovering of flagrancy, are intermediate steps alongside the best way to a different authorized conclusion, and
the declare for damages towards Air France failed because the proprietor of the communication proper comprised in the suitable to digitally stream Love was incorrectly recognized by the candidates (as detailed within the Choice).

Evaluation of extra damages

Glass Sweet submitted that the Courtroom mustn’t proceed to any evaluation of extra damages because the conduct discovered to be flagrant within the Choice associated to the creation of Heat and never the infringements that the Courtroom discovered Glass Sweet dedicated (which primarily associated to the train of the communication proper in Love). Justice Perram acknowledged that there is perhaps some pressure in these submissions, however that the extra damages case ought to proceed.

Key takeaways

Whereas the Courtroom discovered a broad injunction to forestall the widespread communication of a musical work was applicable on this case, a declaration of flagrancy was not.

Additional developments shall be reported as soon as damages are assessed.
