Cuestión jurídica
Whether a copyright conviction could stand without identifying the protected works and authors allegedly infringed.
Criterio
No. The judgment did not identify any protected work or author under the 1993 decree, preventing legal review of whether the charged conduct fell within copyright protection.
Fundamento decisivo
A court must identify the protected subject matter and right-holder connection; a generic reference to channels or programming is insufficient for review.
Límites
Applied the 1993 decree; concerns pleading/proof in infringement, not GenAI authorship.
