In Shell v. City of Radford, Judge Conrad of the W.D. Va. granted the City's motion to dismiss the copyright infringement claims brought by a professional photographer claiming that the city's police department has misused his art which was seized in connection with the criminal investigation into the death of a former model and assistant to the photographer.
The opinion includes a rare W.D. Va. discussion of fair use, albeit in the unusual circumstances of fair use by law enforcement investigators.
