Michael Grecco Productions Inc. of Santa Monica, California, filed a lawsuit Nov. 30 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida against Soffersapp LLC and Robert M. Sapp of Aventura, Florida, alleging the defendants reproduced and publicly displayed the plaintiff's copyrighted works without permission.
