(Judge's Sui Ocean Isle A lawsuit filed by 13th District Court Judge William E. Wood against the town of Ocean Isle Beach has been continued until the September 30 session of Brunswick County Superior Civil Court. In court Monday, Judge Giles R. Clark of Elizabcthtown issued a conIunuauce in die case as agreed on by both sides. Judge Wood filed suit 1 against me town in March 1983, seeking $114,000 in damages and a judg* ment mandating the town to reconstruct East First Street along the east end of the beach in front of the Woods' lot. The street was destroyed by winter storm erosion and closed in the fall of 1981. According to the lawsuit, East First Street was the only means of ingress and egress to the Woods' lot and the lots of others living along the In a memo to Judge Clark dated Judge Aware In Ad Copyri' The Brunswick Beacon has been awarded $6,000 in damages, reimbursement of "reasonable" attorney fees and a permanent injunction in its copyright infringement suit against The Brunswick Free Press. The order, signed by Judge Earl W. ' Britt in U.S. District Court in Wilm| ington June 17, was received by The I Beacon last Wednesday. Publishers of the Free Press, who have appealed Judge Britt's decision [ of March 11 which found the i newspaper guilty of copying three ' rnnvriohtnrl oHc f mr*\ I, -. ? . .f,..vvu uu.)

The Free Press and two of its three publishers are "jointly and severally liable for the willful infringement" of the Beacon's copyrights, according to the federal judge's order. One publisher, Caroline Schock of Winston-Salem, was released from personal liability in the case after the judge ruled that the two other publishers, Bernard Charles (Hocky) k Hopchas and Priscilla S. (tyou? Hopcbas are active in the day-to-day f operation of the newspaper and k "guided and directed the corporate defendant (the Free Press) to commit the acts of copyright infringement."

Both sides agreed to delay the case this week, citing inconvenience and difficulties in calling on witnesses during the summer months. The original lawsuit asks for $37,000 from the town, $37,000 from the governing officials (town council) and $50,000 in punitive damages. The action springs from what the Woods allege is failure of the town ana its officials to obey state laws as they relate to the street in front of their property. The Woods allege the town accepted the street as part of its municipal street system, but failed to keep the street in proper repair and open as required under N.C. General Statutes. Js Damages ght Suit publishing any copyrighted material out of the Beacon "to prevent a recurrence of the infringement." Hie Beacon filed the lawsuit April 13,1984, citing three infringements of copyright of advertisements in the August 19, 1983, and Sept. 8, 1983 issues. In his order, Judge Britt noted that the Free Press continued to infringe the Beacon's copyrighted advertisements after the Beacon notified the Free Press to stop and after the Free Press was advised by their attorney to stop the infringements. Infringements of copyrighted advertisements continued as late as March 8, 1985, the judge ruled. From the outset of the case, publishers of the Free Press have maintained they have a right to copy ads from the Beacon since, in their opinion, the ads are owned by the uuvci usei who pays ior liu'lll. i ney have also contended that the Beacon has no right to copyright its work and that the use of the copyright notice by the Beacon constitutes a restraint of trade. The Beacon's suit is based on the Copyright Act of 1976, which went into effect Jan. 1. 1978. It was the first revision of the copyright laws since 1909. Under the new statute, ownership of advertising created by a newspaper can be protected by copyright, the Beacon has maintained. ? i if? ? jcean Pacific shorts are print top by Chic 'MM All You Need S?NOVELTIES?FISHING TACKLE ??S?FLOATS--GIFTS YAY, Phono S42-2699 | 1 wy -?
