First Circuit -- Latin American Music Co., Inc. v. Media Power Group, Inc.

Copyright challenge

Sufficiency of Evidence claim procedurally defaulted.

Sending issue of ownership top the jury after resolution earlier at summary judgment was not error, as the court treated the question as a live one throughout.

Argument that the earlier court decided case without considering late-submitted evidence does not bar collateral estoppel from binding.

No error in decision on proof of song registration paperwork.
