REUTERS/Yves Herman/File Photo) Music, Warner Music and other music publishers to hold the owner of Wolfgang's Vault directly liable for copyright infringement for recordings by rock greats such as the Rolling Stones and the Who posted on the online concert archive.
They accused the site of distributing more than a thousand unauthorized performances of the songs, ranging from the Who's"Won't Get Fooled Again" and the Rolling Stones'"You Can't Always Get What You Want" to Carole King's" Natural Woman" and Rodgers and Hammerstein's"My Favorite Things." Wolfgang's Vault hosts thousands of audio and video recordings of rock concert recordings collected by San Francisco concert promoter Bill Graham. Sagan, who bought the collection in 2002, made the recordings publicly available on the website for a fee in 2006.
"It would be absurd if a corporate executive who orders her staff to print a million infringing copies of a copyrighted work with full knowledge of their infringing nature could escape direct liability in lieu of the low-level employee who follows those instructions," the publishers said in the filing.
