On information and belief, Defendant, without the permission or consent of Plaintiff, obtained a “bootleg” copy of the World Trade Center screenplay.  Using the illegally obtained screenplay, defendant has created, reproduced, distributed and exhibited a twelve minute motion picture copied directly from a substantial portion of Plaintiff’s screenplay.

Judgment: Defendant is permanently enjoined and restrained from directly or indirectly infringing Plaintiff’s rights in the Copyrighted Screenplay and any motion picture, whether now in existence or later created, that is owned or controlled by Plaintiff that is based on the Copyrighted Screenplay, including without limitation, reproducing or copying the Copyrighted Screenplay or the Moukarbel Film, distributing the Copyrighted Screenplay or the Moukarbel Film, or making the Copyrighted Screenplay or the Moukarbel Film available for distribution to the public.

Defendant is ordered to make all reasonable efforts to remove from distribution any and all copies of the Moukarbel Film which he has distributed and/or caused to be distributed throughout the world, to destroy all copies of the WTC Script in his possession, custody or control, and to destroy all copies of the Moukarbel Film in his possession or which may come into his possession, except for one copy for his personal use, which he may not reproduce, transmit, distribute or publicly display, and copies in the possession of counsel.
