A copyright case with a curious factual background was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction following Judge Ponsor’s approval of Magistrate Judge Neiman’s report and recommendations. The case stemmed from a group of musicians who alleged that defendant producers purloined subject works and failed to pay promised royalties. Because much of the action happened in Puerto Rico, and there were limited contacts to Mass., the case was dismissed.
