Victim’s murder was an “accident” for UM and no-fault coverage

Victim’s administrator sought UM and no-fault benefits for the victim for an occurrence in which the uninsured driver struck the victim with the admitted intent of killing him. The driver was convicted of second-degree murder. Held: the term “accident” in the UM and no-fault coverage included the subject occurrence because the occurrence must be viewed from the insured’s prospective.  Although the policy excluded some types of events from the definition of “accident”, nothing expressly excluded intentional conduct.

Long-arm jurisidiction and digital copyright infringement (COA Mar 23 2011)

CPLR 302(a)(3)(ii): In copyright infringement case involving the uploading
of a copyrighted literary work onto the internet, the situs of injury for
long-arm jurisdictional purposes is the location of the copyright holder.
SDNY therefore had jurisdiction over suit since the principal place of
business of plaintiff-copyright holder was New York City. Defendant was an
Oregon not-for-profit corporation whose principal place of business was in
Arizona which had electronically copied and uploaded complete copies of four
of plaintiff’s copyrighted books onto defendant’s website in Oregon and/or
Arizona. The out-of-state location of the infringement was less important
where digital piracy is involved because of the works’ instate availability
to everyone in the country and the world. Penguin Group (USA) Inc., v.
American Buddha, (NY COA 3/24/11). http://bit.ly/eIPBoz.
