U.S. Supreme Court justices signaled on Wednesday they may dismiss a legal fight between a Miami music producer and Warner Music over a song by rapper Flo Rida. Some of the justices during arguments in the case questioned whether they should decide the monetary damages issue raised in plaintiff Sherman Nealy's lawsuit against Warner before resolving in separate litigation the proper time limit for filing copyright suits. Two music publishing companies - Warner Music's Warner Chappell as well as Artist Publishing Group - have appealed a lower court's ruling that defendants in copyright infringement cases can be held liable for actions that occurred prior to the three-year statute of limitations for filing such litigation.
