Applicants Audax Architecture Inc. and its proprietor Gianpiero Pugliese collaborated with Respondents Eden Tree Design Inc. and its proprietor Scott McCuaig on the architectural design of "Villa Cortile." After completion, the Applicants created a promotional video without crediting the Respondents for their landscape design work. The Respondents posted the video on their social media, leading to a copyright infringement claim. The court awarded the Applicants $5,000 in statutory damages, recognizing the skill and effort involved in producing the video. The dispute did not involve claims of infringement of the Respondents' copyright or passing-off.
