Plaintiff, SFX Motor Sports, Inc. (SFX), owns a copyright to live motorcycle racing events. It promotes and produces these events under the name Supercross. These racing events take place at venues across the country and are broadcast live via radio, television, and Internet.
SFX asked a Texas federal court to issue a preliminary injunction against Davis, owner of SupercrossLIVE.com (SupercrossLIVE), after this site posted a link on its Web site, linking to SFX's motorcycle racing event. SupercrossLIVE's only act was to host a link to SFX's Webcast on the Super crossLIVE.com site. What was the result in the federal district court? Will the result survive on appeal?
