The Daily Journal reports that Judge James Selna of the Central District of California issued an order this week in which he rejected a jury’s award of $53.6 million in punitive damages in the copyright dispute between the pop group OMG Girlz and toymaker MGA. According to the article, Judge Selna ruled that the plaintiffs had presented sufficient evidence to support an award of compensatory damages, but had not presented evidence of “recklessness or willful indifference” required for an award of punitive damages.
