ORDER GRANTING IN PART PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR A PERMANENT INJUNCTION [01-8541: 1215]; ORDER DENYING WITHOUT PREJUDICE STREAMCAST’S MOTION FOR A STAY OF THE PERMANENT INJUNCTION’S ENFORCEMENT PENDING APPEAL [01-8541: 1259]
I. INTRODUCTION
On September 27, 2006, this Court granted Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment on the question of liability as against StreamCast Networks, Inc. (“StreamCast”). In that Order, the Court recounted this case’s procedural history, and engaged in a detailed analysis of the factual record pertaining to StreamCast’s inducement of copyright infringement. See Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd., 454 F.Supp.2d 966, 971, 975-92 (C.D.Cal.2006). StreamCast is the only defendant remaining in this case. As the parties are well aware, StreamCast operates and distributes the Morpheus System and Software.
Presently before this Court is Plaintiffs’ motion for a permanent injunction against StreamCast. StreamCast has vigorously opposed the imposition of a permanent injunction. StreamCast also asks for an evidentiary hearing, additional discovery, or at least a stay of the permanent injunction’s enforcement pending appeal.
