This paper addresses practical aspects of a typical copyright infringement case, a deceptively simple subject. Plaintiff introduces its copyright registration into evidence, and proves defendant copied too much of the registered work and monetary relief numbers. Fullstop. In practice, however, a copyright case is like a jigsaw puzzle, the omission of any piece being fatal.
