 USCA1 Opinion 00-2290
Fonovisa appeals the district court's denial of its motion requesting attorney's fees pursuant to the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. Fonovisa argues that the district court erred in holding that its motion requesting attorney's fees was moot.
Fonovisa argues that, although the agreement does prevent it from collecting attorney's fees, the agreement was structured so that Fonovisa could receive a judgment on attorney's fees.
Fonovisa admits that the court's judgment will not be "carried into effect" and cannot "affect the matter in issue in the case before it," Mills, 159 U.S. at 653, but will instead hopefully impact future cases.

 FONOVISA, INC. v. CHERRY AUCTION, INC., 76 F.3d 259 (9th Cir. 1996) (LOISLAW)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
[5] Fonovisa filed its original complaint in the district court on February 25, 1993, and on March 22, 1994, the district court granted defendants' motion to dismiss pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6).
In this appeal, Fonovisa does not challenge the district court's dismissal of its claim for direct copyright infringement, but does appeal the dismissal of its claims for contributory copyright infringement, vicarious copyright infringement and contributory trademark infringement.
The facts alleged by Fonovisa, however, reflect that the defendants reap substantial financial benefits from admission fees, concession stand sales and parking fees, all of which flow directly from customers who want to buy the counterfeit recordings at bargain basement prices.

 1999 Pulitzer Prizes-BEAT REPORTING, Works
     Fonovisa, which releases music by Spanish superstar Enrique Iglesias and accounts for about 16% of the nearly $500 million in Latin music records sold in the United States annually, is so far the only record label under investigation--although it is unclear whether the company or any of its employees will be charged.
Wednesday's sweep comes at a time when record companies have begun to expand their involvement in a controversial but legal form of programming called "pay for play." Under this new infomercial-like practice, radio stations bill record companies for airplay but notify listeners at the time of broadcast that the song is paid for.
For the last five months, executives at Fonovisa and Televisa have cooperated with Justice Department prosecutors in Los Angeles and Washington and agents from the criminal investigation division of the IRS in Los Angeles.

 Symposium on Race Relations in America
In Fonovisa, the Ninth Circuit held that the plaintiff stated a claim for vicarious liability because the swap meet operator not only controlled the activities of vendors, but also profited from the sales of counterfeit records by attracting more bargain hunters, thus resulting in more collateral fees to the swap meet operator.
The Fonovisa court's holding raises the possibility that an access provider may be vicariously liable for the infringing activities of its subscribers.
In Fonovisa, the court held the swap meet operator liable as a contributory infringer because the swap meet operator was both aware of the sales of bootleg records by vendors, and materially contributed to the illicit sales by providing the venue and advertising support to attract customers.

Based in Los Angeles, Fonovisa has been a major player in the Mexican market -- there is no shortage of Tejano and norteño/Tex-Mex in Fonovisa's catalog.
One thing that "Muchacha Triste" does have in common with Fonovisa's more Mexican-oriented recordings is an early-'60s post-doo wop influence -- in the Mexican pop field, some artists like to incorporate elements of '50s doo wop or the early-'60s girl group sound.
