As Univision Moves to Drop Chapo Drawing Wayback Machine Untouched by SDNY Case

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Feb 7 – Univision has been sued for impermissibly using courtroom sketches of El Chapo Guzman.  

 On February 5, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Louis L. Stanton held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.

 The mother and daughter court artists, with whom Inner City Press has previously discussed another SDNY case about a Chinese business using one of their designs, were apparently on the line but did not speak.

 Reference was made to the Internet Archive, "commonly known as the Wayback Machine," but the Univision lawyer said that's something they don't control. 

 The Univision lawyer was pushing for mediation by a Magistrate Judge, in this case Sarah L. Cave, assigned.

Judge Stanton gently suggested that while the parties were free to talk settlement at any time, sometimes starting discovery helped focus the mind. He urged discovery to begin, on Monday. 

 The case is Shepard et al v. Fusion Media Group, LLC et al., 20-cv-2125 (Stanton)
