A federal judge has squelched a suit accusing a New Jersey company of invading the exclusive territory of Europe's largest distributor of sheet music. The judge ruled that the U.S. Copyright Act does not apply because the company has licenses to distribute the music in the United States. The case had implications for the British company's exclusive right to sell sheet music for thousands of songs, ranging from classics to top 40 hits, according to the complaint.
